Black-fronted Nunbird (Monasa nigrifrons)

We arrived around lunch time, and after we had eaten Octavio suggested that going for a walk might be fruitful. The rest of our group looked at him as if he was insane - it was the middle of the day and blisteringly hot (I found out later that the maximal temperature during this period was about 37C), but I felt it was too good a chance to lose. We found some birds we didn't see again, so it was definitely worthwhile.
