Message: <blockquote data-quote="kittykat23uk" data-source="post: 1580078" data-attributes="member: 55291">August 21st Broken cloud and breaking wind!Another wet night and we awoke to clear(ish) skies which sadly didn’t last long, although the cloud was more broken than the day before.  A spot of early morning birding around the camp produced Red-billed Scythbill, three Chestnut-eared Aracaris, Greyish Saltator, Common Tody Flycatchers, Bananaquit, Little Woodpecker,  and a Golden-Green Woodpecker. We also came across another woodpecker which Julio didn’t recognise. I’m still not sure which species it is. Birding round the camp was extended as Julio decided that it was too windy and overcast to take the boat out in the morning. So we had a leisurely breakfast and spent some time socialising with Carminda and Maria. An interesting discovery was that jokes about breaking wind seem to cross language borders! The silent but deadly variety in the UK is know to the Portuguese as a “church fart”. We had a nice lunch at camp and spent a bit of time trying to photograph the hummingbirds in the garden. We then headed out on the boat for the afternoon at around 13.30. ID Help please! If anyone can help with the green bird and the mystery woodpecker in the below set I'd be very grateful! </blockquote>
