  1. Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

    Rufous-tailed Hummingbird

    Of the larger hummingbirds that we photographed here Rufous-tailed was the most `boring' one. All my pictures show this bird in a conventional flight position, whereas all the others at times carried out quite spectacular manoeuvres. Rufous-tailed also seemed to be less attracted to the flowers...

  2. Brown Inca

    Brown Inca

    Of all the hummingbirds we photographed at Tandayapa Lodge this is the one I have the least pictures of - exactly one. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that I had a picture of a not very common species, and this bird caused a bit of discussion on the Identification subforum.

  4. Purple-bibbed Whitetip

    Purple-bibbed Whitetip

    Today we have the tongue-breaker Purple-bibbed Whitetip. This photo certainly illustrates the white tail tip, but not the purple throat, but the other two pictures I'm uploading do that. These Whitetips were fairly uncommon visitors to the feeders, and given that we spent four afternoons...

  5. Purple-bibbed Whitetip

    Purple-bibbed Whitetip

    We now come to a fair number of photos which have all been taken with the same set-up. A lot of the credit for these pictures has to go to our guide, Pablo, who is really the one who figured out how to make it all work. There are four flashes set around a feeder which means the bird is evenly...

    Russet-backed Oropendola

    A few times while we were at the lodge a troop of these Oropendolas came to the fruit feeders. I rather like the unusual pose in this photo. You can see him eyeing up the fruit below, can't you?

  9. Golden Tanager

    Golden Tanager

    We were based at Tandayapa Lodge for this part of the trip. They do have fruit feeders which attract interesting birds on and off, but the light was quite challenging. You'll see a lot more pictures of hummingbirds though...

    Crested Quetzal

    The best looking Quetzal in Ecuador, in my humble opinion. http://www.steveblain.co.uk
