Brazil; Ubatuba - Fazenda Angelim

Our original plan for our last day in Ubatuba was to visit a site an hours drive away to look for the Dusky Leaftosser, but after finding an individual the previous evening this was no longer necessary. And so we decided to return to Fazenda Angelim for the morning as a last look to see if we could find the White-necked Hawk for Lia. Sadly we did not but we did enjoy a number of other nice Atlantic Forest bird species.
In the clearing where with the tourist chalets we found another Buff-throated Purpletuft, proving that this really is the place to look for this tiny bird. We did not get to watch it for as long as the previous time, but we also did not try to bring the bird back after it flew. Otherwise the birds present were very similar to the previous visits we had been on. It was nice to see more Bertoni’s Antwren, as well as a family party of Blue-winged Parrotlets begging their parents to feed them. We heard Spotted Bamboowren but it was deep inside the thickets and we did not try to get the bird out to show for us. In the mixed flocks we also got to watch Olive-Green Tanager feeding, which is a species I have only seen once before.
