A Rocha Peru

Arrived at the airport in Lima yesterday a little exhausted having not slept much on the bus the night before, but met by very helpful members of A Rocha Peru. We had lunch together then Oscar (leader of the A Rocha team in Peru) and his wife Marlene invited me to stay at their house and get some rest. Today I woke up before dawn and went with Oscar to take a survey of birds in the city park behind their house. He has lived in the same house with his family for 25 years and tracking the birds for much of that time. After breakfast, I was accompanied by two other A Rocha members to a part of town by the ocean called La Punta, where there are an amazing number of shorebirds as well as other sealife.
