Nossa! No sooner I had written that there was very little bird news to tell than another guide went and found an occupied nest of the ultra-rare Gould's Jewelfront hummingbird right in the staff clearing! I've seen both Great and Grey Tinamou the past week, and I finally got to visit the magic pond, which long-standing readers of my blog should well remember from my first year here. Around 25 bird species came in to drink or bathe, with the Long-Tailed Potoo making its expected appearance as darkness fell. The mammals still got the upper hand, however, as, while we were waiting for the potoo, none other than my first Giant Anteater came in and took a bath!
