Brazil; Ubatuba - Fazenda Angelim

We headed back to Fazenda Angelim for a mornings birding before heading to the beach with Lia’s sister. The birding was obviously fantastic once again with many nice Atlantic Forest species. Highlights included Bertoni’s Antbird, Orange-eyed Thornbird and Plumbeous Pigeon. The pigeon is a species I have not seen very often despite it being very widespread across South America. We also had brief views of a Rufous-capped Antthrush, but unfortunately it did not sit out for photos. Sadly, the weather was not as kind to us as it had been on the previous days, with routine short rain showers.
After birding we headed to the beach. Although there was no birding to be had there, on the way back we spotted a pair of Buff-bellied Puffbird sat on the roadside wires, before they moved into open cecropia trees. They were actively flycatching and putting on quite a performance. This species I have only seen once before, so this was an excellent opportunity to observe them.
