Grey-bellied Comet, North Peru 14th July 2006.

After a hard morning's search for Great Spinetails near San Marcos on 13th (albeit successfully) we need an easy stroll to a traditional site where a Grey-bellied Comet had been regularly seen for four years. Wrong! No sign of one of the world's rarest hummers in nearly two hours - I suppose it had to happen one day.
Our luck was in on the 14th though as we had three birds in the early morning before we set off for Trujillo. This photo was taken last October at the same site in the Rio Chonta valley near Cajamarca.
