For all those who haven't heard it yet: I'm searching another bird that's critically endangered do get extinct. Seems to get my profession. This time, it's the Lilacine Amazone (Amazona lilacina). The population is estimated to be around 500-600 animals. But nobody really knows where this estimates come from because apart from one population next to Guayaquil little is known about in which places the parrots occur and how many of them really are in those places. What's is kind of handy is, that the amazones rely on the mangroves because they sleep in them over night. And mangroves are known to be at the ocean. Therefore I search the whole coast north of Manta and check every little mangroveswamp that's left. And I'm able to search the whole time for surfspots aswell, hehe.
so always start in the middle of the night in the mornings, here with Alfredo....
...and in the evenings be there for sunset aswell
