  2. Speckle-faced Parrot

    Speckle-faced Parrot

    A lovely Andean relative of the much more common Blue-headed Parrot, this is one of the few times I saw it perched, but boy was that bird feeling cooperative!
  3. Foothill antwren

    Foothill antwren

    While its lowland counterpart (Rufous-tailed) was quite a common sight just a few km away, this species appears to be rather rare, and bloody hard to pin down, considering how few photos of it exist despite is fairly large range. This is the best I could do, on one of the only two occasions I...
  4. Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet

    Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet

    A fairly scarce foothill tyrannulet, but locally quite common in that canyon. Restless and often in shade, bloody hard to get a decent photo!
  5. Buff-bridled Inca-finch.jpg

    A very colaborative Peruvian endemic. All five species of Incaspiza are endemic to Peru. Most of them can be found in the Andes of Cajamarca.

  8. Cabanis's Spinetail

    Cabanis's Spinetail

    This foothill spinetail, which is quite scarce in Central Peru, where it reaches the edge of its distribution, turned out to be incredibly skulking, much more so than the previous species. This is a juvenile, as the only photos I ever managed of the adults were even worse.
  9. Marañon Spinetail

    Marañon Spinetail

    A critically endangered Marañon endemic, I'd heard it was terribly skulking, but we ended up having quite good views, thanks to my terrific guide Antonio Garcia Bravo!
