The other day I went driving the Pacific Lima circle  road aka la Costanera. Next to the Repsol station there is a  open dirt area, which often has held a group of Peruvian Thickknees the last couple of weeks. This day was no exception, so I thought I'd show them to Luciana. In spite of still not using binoculares Luciana 2 years 9 months, has ammassed 43 species since the start earlier this year.  The thickknee she knows by the local onamatopoic name Huerequeque.

Here is the proof, that she saw it!!

The site is a good one for anyone having to travel between the airport and Miraflores. It is the only gas-station on the Costanera.

Thanks to Tor-Egil Høgsås for use of his Peruvian Thickknee picture. Check out Tor Egils bird photo blog.
