White-eared Puffbird (above) and White-banded Tanager.

Few more birds from the Cerrado pictured above. Star-turn was the Collared Crescentchest that performed so well and sat in view for ages after a period of skulking. White-eared Puffbirds always seem to show well but usually distantly, so this one close up was a rweal bonus. And then there's the "mini Great Grey Shrike look-alike" or White-banded Tanager as it's also known. Chapada is a fantastic place and compliments a Pantanal trip very nicely.
