“ Birding Brazil - the Atlantic Rainforest” is a new birding DVD from birder & wildlife film-maker Malcolm Rymer http://www.wildlifevideos.net/ This two hour birding travelogue features 150+ bird species typical of the region, including footage of 47 endemics. The filming location was based at Serra dos Tucanos Lodge which gives ready access to this ever increasingly popular, endemic-rich rainforest environment. The DVD is to be launched soon and will be available from Malcolm at the Bird Fair (Marquee 4, Stand 27) or can be ordered through us at Serra dos Tucanos Lodge, please e-mail for further details.

Don’t forget that we shall also be at the Bird Fair, Marquee 1, Stand 50, see you there!
