Visit to La Punta, Callao (Peru) – September 2015

My third and final birding trip during my trip to Peru was to La Punta, in the old port of Callao – now incorporated into Greater Lima. I saw half a dozen new species here – and still have a number of unknowns to sort out.

Photos of the new life-listers follow – as always, click on any pic to access the slide show. We saw a lot of other birds but I did not keep a complete list on this occasion.
