And finally... I hope that you have enjoyed our little look at Ecuadors most wanted bird species - we specifically target all the ones that you have seen this week on our trips and the best news is that we have just two spaces left to fill on next years Bird Photography Masterclass. So if you fancy leveling up your bird photography then you know what to do!

And to round it off - another glorious spectacled bear for a lazy Sunday morning.

Perhaps the cutest of our target species - this is the Booted Racket Tail - the racket tail bit is fairly self explanatory, the tail of the mature males is very long with two racket like feathers. And the booted bit - this refers to the little boots that the racket tail wears. Now there is a lot of arguing at the moment about species and sub-species and how many there are etc, but to keep things simple, some birds wear the orange boots and some wear the white boots! Both are equally beautiful and both equally cute!
