Tuesday 1st April
The storm had passed over by early afternoon and the sun was
burning its way through the cloud. I began a search of the Lagoon for any
migrants that may have been pushed down by the storm. I took the opportunity to complete a count.

| (Social Flycatcher) |
Earlier on in the day a group of Social Flycatcher had
passed through the base. This caused a minor tremor when I saw a rufous edge to
the wings (Rusty Margined Flycatcher a recent new bird for Paraguay). The bird
had a red crown which confirmed its identity.

| (Pauraque) |
I completed my first list easily but the second was not to
be completed until 1945hrs when a Pauraque saved the day. Incomplete lists
cannot be used for comparison. Juggling a headlamp to keep the bird frozen to
the spot and my camera I took pictures of the bird.
