The terms“common”or“rare” are unprecise and in many cases it depends entirely on the biology of the species or on human actions. The following lists of species has been carefuly prepared and it´s based directly on trips reports. We make sure it is trusty and  it’s “just a small” reference of some of the most commonly seen species during your trip. We decided to include other zoological groups because many of the classical birders are also naturalists (or photografers, writers, fishermen, artists, etc.) or simply because it´s a natural desire to have some extra information when you see other wildlife. “Rare” species are not included. See appendix.
