Just back (only just, thanks to Air France!) from the latest Brazil trip and very successful it was too. Roughly 325 species seen in a fortnight at four localities including 51 Brazilian Endemics, 113 Atlantic Forest Endemics and an extra 31 species heard. A full round up will be posted in the next few days but highlights included Shrike-like Cotinga and Giant Snipe at REGUA, Black-capped Piprites and Black & Gold Cotinga at Itatiaia, Buff-throated Purpletuft at Ubatuba and Swallow-tailed Cotinga and Spotted Bamboo-Wren at Intervales.
