Brazilian summer part 4

I've guided three groups so far, all of which got to see Giant Otters, with the last two also seeing tapir.  After a lot of searching, I finally got a brief look at the Spectacled Owl which is still calling every night but, so far, nobody has managed to locate its daytime roost.  The howler monkeys only  allowed me four hours of sleep last night yet myself and another guide did a trail we'd not yet been to this morning and had a great time.  We found a couple of mixed flocks, an antswarm with a Black-spotted Bare-Eye in attendance, and, best of all, excellent views of a superb male Chestnut-belted Gnateater, which I've only seen once before.
