sadly there was a green woodpecker about somewhere (I could hear it) but couldn't find it! also tried to get a pic of an orange-tipped butterfly but it wouldn't settle |

Shame about the Green woodpecker and Orange tips can be very flighty and difficult to capture a decent image. I have just joined your website and started to add one or two details but it might take some time as i have over 20 years worth of species from many parts of the world. |

Super photos David We saw a Green Woodpecker at one of our local reserves a couple of weeks back and that was my first ever sighting. It was a long, long way away but I was determined to get a few photos just for my records.

stunning!! I was wondering where you had been! Can't pick a favourite because they are all fabulous in their own way but for sheer colour value the Blue-winged Mountain Tanager is a corker ![]() Did you manage any photos of the Flightless Cormorant or Woodpecker Finch? |

Absolutely fantastic photos Jedi you have seen some amazing birds on your holiday! The colours on some of them are incredible the red ring around the eye of the Swallow-tailed Gull is very unusual for sharing them with us .... Looking forward to seeing more
