An undoubted highlight from Peru was the famous 'bridge-side' Oilbird colony. The wonders of modern digital cameras even allow you to record the memory... these taken at ridiculous ISO settings! #birds

Our last full day in Peru was dedicated to finding Gray-bellied Comet. An endemic and difficult to see Hummer... and one of my most wanted birds of the trip. It was hard work but worth it in the end. Best I could manage with my camera but it means a lot to me!! #birds

Away in Peru chasing (amongst other things) hummingbirds... My first new one for the list was this Amazilia #birds

Did they call? Northern has a subtely deeper and harsher call if heard.

Interesting Cairan. The LRP was there yesterday too. I could only get to 16 CSands but they were in and out of the reeds a lot. This morning, there were no C. Sands at all… maybe a different 6?

Is the β€˜Med Gull’ half of this pair not a hybrid itself?
