We were just about to head to the beach and movement caught eye out the back of the rainforest lodge.
What a thrill.
Nice to start a second life list down under. his was Daintree Forest - North Queensland Tropical Australia.

Just got 90 lifers out of last 2 sundays birding! Whaa, it's just phantasic to hit a new continent!
Work trip in Nicaragua, managed only to sneak out for these 2 sundays, but made the best out of it.
Last lifer was Band-backed Wren. Which was the best one out the 90, no idea, so many great birds here!

Nice one Diego!

For those who arent so familiar with Colombian birds, the fact that Diego, (a guide who spends loads of time in the field) is just getting this one as a lifer when he already has most of the Colombian endemics shows how inaccessible this species has been.

indeed Patrick.. this species is basically been lost for loads of time and then the few places where it is been recorded have suffered of political instability so impossible to get there to see the bird.. now we found a very very easy and accessible, safe, place what is such a grand thing to have handy!
