Picture info: |
Seen in tall forest and swamp.
Along the road from the 'mid-way station' to the templesite - app. 12-13 km (?) S. of the station is a small 'lake' (swamp) at the right side of the road. Very little water in late March so birds and other wild-life in need of water are 'concentrated' here - also huge crocodiles and anacondas. Be ware (or bring your wife.. Merete sort of saved me by spotting the big guy >3m in time only a few meters away from this bird) - it's so easy to get carried away with this kind of birds at hand for pictures :-). On this up-load it's easy to see why it's a ssp. albiventris (the white between the black and rufous on the belly) |
