ARGENTINA: Iguazu 15 & 16 September 2008.

Garganta del Diablo ("Devil's Throat"), Iguazu, Argentina September 2008.

Black-fronted Piping-Guan, Iguazu 15th September 2008.


"Do you know there's a Hoopoe in D&G?"



Ochre-breasted Foliage-Gleaner, Iguazu, Argentina September 2008.

We like to spend a bit of time over the border in Argentina during the visit to Iguacu to add a bit of variety (and confuse the clients who thought they were going to Brazil!). It's a good place to see the rare Black-throated Piping-Guan though I must admit to feeling severely "gripped" by the Carsethorn Hoopoe news (only five minutes from our caravan in D&G) while watching this bird. Shallow and pathetic I know, but there you go.



Toco Toucan, KM101 Road, Iguazu, Argentina.

Plush-crested Jays, Three-striped Flycatcher, Streak-capped Anwren, Greenish Schiffornis, White-bearded Manakin, Southern Antpipit plus loads of good Atlantic Forest birds seen in perfect birding weather.

Caiman, Iguazu September 2008.

More water in Argentina ...... deep joy.
