    Back from Peru with a Common Potoo...
    Oh...that rhymes :)

    What a trip I have just returned from. 3 months in spectacular Peru - one of the birdiest countries in the whole world (2nd only to Columbia). I have loads of images to share of rare species, hard to find endemics and of course hummingbirds. But I wanted to start with a fun one that I hope will make you smile :)

    All the best!

    Welcome home, looks like the bird got caught in the headlights. Nice pic and thanks for sharing.

    Never seen one with its eyes open before. Cool.
