The inevitable day without a single new species since I've been here has finally happened (after five and a half weeks!) and, bird-wise, things have quietened down a little. Mammals, on the other hand, have been showing well, especially the monkeys, which had proven very difficult to find the past couple of weeks. An early start up the tower to watch a very disappointing meteor shower did produce a kinkajou, however, and, yesterday, I went into town for some r&r on my day off, seeing five giant otters on the way out. Coming back today, though, I got an ever so fleeting glimpse of a black jaguar, as it slipped into the river, before bounding up the riverbank and disappearing into the forest!
