Birding in Brazil

Carol Popple is an avid bird watcher who loves travelling around the Sunshine Coast, Australia and the World, viewing and photographing birds. Carol has birded many countries in her quest including Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Namibia, Uganda, Thailand and Costa Rica. She has a personal world bird species tally of over 3000 birds.

In July this year, Carol went on a three-week birding tour in Brazil visiting the Amazon, the Pantanal and Atlantic Forest. Brazil has a spectacular birds’ list of over 1800 species and is home to a diverse range of fascinating mammals. The trip included such highlights as the hyacinth macaw (the world’s largest parrot), following jaguars as they hunt along the rivers of the Pantanal and the dizzying heights of birdwatching from Canopy Towers, high above the Amazon Rainforest.

Come along to Friday Environment Forum on October 10th as Carol will share her exciting experiences and amazing photographs. Everyone is welcome at the forum at the Noosa Parks Association Environment Centre, 5 Wallace Drive, Noosaville which starts at 10:30am with morning tea available from 10-10.25am. Entry is $5 by ‘tap & go’ at the door which includes morning tea/coffee.

Join the bird observers at 8.30am in the carpark for interpretive birding.
