This is simply one of my favourite hummingbirds.
This trip to Ecuador was one of my most enjoyable with stunning views of Giant Antpitta, Yellow-breasted Antpitta, Scaled Fruiteater and Andean Cock-of-the-Rocks on the west slope. Best bits of the trip for me apart from the "antpitta morning" were Crested Eagle in the Amazon at Sacha Lodge (a long-awaited "tick"), Coppery-chested Jacamar, Orange-breasted Fruiteater, Moss-backed Tanager and a great day in the Choco lowlands at Rio Salanche where we saw Scarlet-breasted Dacnis, Scarlet & White Tanager, Double-banded Graytail, Blue-whiskered Tanager, Rufous-winged Tanager, Scarlet-browed Tanager and Slate-throated Gnateater.
No luck with the Peruvian Antpitta at Cabanas San Isidro or the White-faced Nunbird in the Tandayapa Valley. Still, there's always next year........
