Red-and-white Antpitta (Grallaria erythroleuca)

Two Antpittas before breakfast! Unfortunately on the narrow path I couldn't move so as to get the bird fully in the open without bumping into everybody else.

Oh my!!! What a wonderful find for you Andrea - this is only the second image to come in to the Gallery, and it's a great improvement on the other one.

You did so well getting it at all, by the sounds of it LOL.

I'll upload your picture to The Opus shortly - many thanks for sharing it with us lass.

Congratulations on capturing this Antpitta. So this is what they look like (lol). I remember a number of years ago we were within 2 meters of this bird with it calling. We spent twenty minutes and we never ever got a glimpse of it. An experience I will never forget. TFS Andrea!
