    Like a garden

    I'm horrible with plants so I have no idea what we've got here. Thks is high altitude (well above 4000m) tundra, and I found these patterns provided by the plant rosettes very remarkable.

    Unstreaked Tit-Tyrant

    After returning from the wilds of Vilcabamba we visited Abra Malaga for one last time. The one bird that was very cooperative and gave me a nice photo series was this one. Birdlife and others use Anairetes agraphia as the scientific name.

    Cusco Brushfinch

    There seem to be some discussion whether the region in Peru should be spelled Cusco or Cuzco. Locally we saw both. This individual (later joined by a second) was very happy to allow us to watch and photograph it from really close range - if the weather had been a bit brighter it would have been...

    Red-crested Cotinga

    Three more birds from the Abra Malaga road today. This is a road that descends from a pass at more than 4000m through forest (once it gets a bit lower), allowing visitors to pick up birds across a range of elevations. On our first visit the weather was a bit dull, but we did find some good...

    Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant

    We spent a very cold morning looking for birds at altitude on the Abra Malaga pass, and after a picnic lunch we drove down on the other side (we were based in Ollantaytambo). One of our finds was this chap. Some consider this a subspecies of Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant.
