		<description><![CDATA[This individual was quite predictable, as it kept coming back to this branch &#8211; in what seemed like a display of peekaboo. With bright colors and a blood red iris to match, it was definitely seen out on the branch, and when business was done &#8211; drinking from the hummingbird feeders &#8211; it hid in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yanacocha has recently succeeded in domesticating the Rufous Antpitta, something my guide was unaware of the first time we went to this reserve in November. Luckily I wanted to go back to fill idle time in Quito before my departure back to Europe in December. I was photographing only 20 metres away and still did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At 05:39 in the morning the light is still very dim &#8211; the sun is well below the horizon. My eyes could only see the silhouette of the Heron against the brightening sky. The blue hour is when the darkness of night is just barely broken by a few photons of light from the sun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A large bird like this should be easy to see, but the Herons are expert at standing still no matter what their position is. They will assess the best cost benefit, and often they will fly off only if we get really close. Distance here is just 8 metres! The vegetation is very dense, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One couple was nesting underneath the pier. I first thought they roosted there during the nights, but one day I was swimming I noticed the nest. They seem to feel secured by the human activities to and fro, day in and out, but when I checked out the nest from above one day, it created [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a human in the jungle it&#8217;s mostly about looking up to the canopy where much of the life resides. Adding distance and high contrast (fauna is dark against the very bright background) it&#8217;s usually very hard to see what&#8217;s moving. It&#8217;s often hearing and not seeing. Every now and then you will see trees [...]]]></description>
