There has been quite a bit of excitement at the lodge this past week, not least when a pit-viper was found right outside our dormitory! My first guest, a keen birder, got to see five of our seven monkey species and had a wonderful leaving present in the form of an adult Ornate Hawk-Eagle on his way out. A calling Spectacled Owl kept me awake for most of last night, and this morning's boat ride produced two tapirs, four Giant Otters, plus an adult Agami Heron. After two weeks here, I've now seen almost 250 species and am still adding new ones each day, although I'm now guiding mainly ecotourists so am unlikely to find any more lifers until I get some days off.
