An excellent find by Trevor Girling this morning at Titchwell, luckily relocated a short distance inland, mostly distant in a very hazy ploughed field, then unbelievably it decided to do a really close fly by to the amazement of the few observers there

This recently described Slaty-masked Tinamou showed incredibly well yesterday afternoon, Serra do Divisor, Acre. That’s the 3rd new species for science I have walked past, was on this very trail just 14 months ago looking at Acre Antshrike.

This critically endangered Black-chested Puffleg is occasionally visiting a feeder at Reserva Zuro Loma about an hour out of Quito, I had to wait 2 hours before it first appeared yesterday

Very pleased to spend some time with this Banded Ground Cuckoo today

Disappointed to see this schoolboy error in the NWT @NorfolkWT magazine, it’s even at a nest hole if you needed confirmation of its identification

A nice selection of winter sea birds off Wells lifeboat station this afternoon, 2 Great Northern and 2 Red-throated Divers, 1 Red-necked Grebe and some Red-breasted Mergansers

@ClandestineBird No, it’s more similar to Tawny Antpitta, below in the Cali or Dancing Antpitta I saw in 2017

[Ashley Banwell @AshBanwell]

The undescribed Paisa Antpitta done its best to remain hidden but easy enough to see with the thermal

This male Recurve-billed Bushbird showed incredibly well despite all the aggressive army ants doing their best to distract me, Antioquia, Colombia

[Ashley Banwell @AshBanwell]

Antioquia Brush Finch rediscovered in 2018, I saw a few near Medellin in November

Nice to spend some time with this pair of Zigzag Herons at Cristalino Lodge. Was interesting to watch them displaying and attending a nest platform.

Nice when the young Goshawk flew in and landed next to me for a few minutes this afternoon
