Peru - Day 1; Madrid Barajas Airport & arrival

   After a year away I was finally heading back to South America, to the country of Peru. This would be my second time visiting this country, but that is so massive and home to so much wildlife would require several trips to do full justice to. 

  Today was little more than a travel day, leaving Paris early in the morning, then flying to Madrid where we would wait a short while before taking a flight to Lima. This latter flight was 10 hours long and by the time we arrived in Lima we were absolutely exhausted. 

  In terms of birding the most action was in Madrid Airport, where I got to see my first Spotless Starlings in a few years. Additionally there was a flyover White Stork and Red Kite, which made for an interesting way to pass the three hours we spent there. We did not see any birds in Peru due to the lateness of our arrival.
