Still at Batan Grande we stopped the bus to look at this Rufous Flycatcher on top of an Acacia. In the midday heat there was still plenty of bird activity with noisy Baird's Flycatchers in the distance. During a scan across the dry Rio Leche we discovered a pair of Snowy-throated Kingbirds - a birds I had not seen in Peru for four years or so. The pair of Black-faced Ibis flying over was even better as I had not seen these in Peru before at all! Tumbes Swallow and the endemic Coastal Miner were other noteworthy species at this point.
