Ocellated Tapaculo (Acropternis orthonyx)

This bird was found by chance by Nick Athanas while we were waiting for another bird in an area of elfin forest, and then it remained in the area for some time, calling and hopping along wet mossy branches. Magical bird. More on this kind of thing on my blog: LOST IN BIRDING http://samwoodsbirding.blogspot.com/

Wondereful shot..this is one of my favourite birds. The only shot I got was of the bird moving so the spots are kind of oval.
