    Tawny-breasted Tinamou

    Hi. I've just loaded my "best" photo of Tawny-breasted Tinamou into the gallery from our recent trip to Colombia and just checked Opus to see you currently don't appear to have any photos of this species. Please feel free to use this one if you wish. I have lots of others but all from the...

    Indigo-winged Parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertesi)

    I've added a photo of this species to the gallery today. Although this species is described in Opus it appears to have no associated photos. Maybe an oversight following species rename from split from "Fuertes Parrot"?

    Tolima Blossomcrown

    I've added 3 photos of this species to the gallery yesterday/today (conventional perched/feeding/perched "stretching" showing tail/wing pattern etc). Although this species is described in Opus it appears to have no associated photos. Maybe oversight following species split from/with Santa...

    Seed-finch/Seedeater: South Pacific coastal lowlands, Costa Rica

    I was just reviewing the photos I'd added to my eBird lists for our trip to Costa Rica in April 2022 and worry that I've labelled one incorrectly. This bird was in low vegetation bordering an uncultivated field along the access road to La Gamba Rain Forest Lodge, about 15km north of Golfito in...

    Another Flycatcher: Ensenada (Puntarenas, Costa Rica), 28th April 2022

    On a day where we saw a lot of flycatchers and eventually caught up with Nutting's Flycatcher which was our target species. Trawling through photos recently came upon these (I've had to do some PP to pull detail up as bird was in quite deep shade). Any reason why this isn't Brown-crested...

    Flycatcher id: Carara NP (Puntarenas, Costa Rica) 26th April 2022

    This flycatcher was loosely following an ant swarm at Carara NP. We debated the id at the time (Black-tailed or Sulphur-rumped) but went with Black-tailed but with the proviso that we needed to check any photos later. Having just got this far sorting through my photos - and these are the best...

    Euphonia sp. seen at La Chuma, Costa Rica (April 23rd 2022)

    We recorded these as Thick-billed Euphonia at the time (last month) but reviewing my photos I'm leaning more towards Yellow-throated based on the limited extension of yellow onto the crown (unfortunately didn't get any shots of the female from below which would have helped!). This was at La...

    Leica APO 65 discontinued?

    Was just reviewing optics replacement costs as part of checking our insurance values are OK & noticed that it appears the Leica APO 65 scope (which my wife has) has recently been discontinued. I can't remember reading about this anywhere - and Googling it the "65" just seems to have disappeared...

    Taiga or Tundra (Ottawa/E.Ontario/Canada)?

    Been asked by birding buddy in Ottawa for opinions on this bird, present for last couple of days. Like MOST of the locals thinking Taiga but always easier in the flesh ... https://ebird.org/checklist/S76060482 Think it's new for the "Ottawa 50" whichever!

    Spoon-billed sandpipers "live" on Jeremy Vine

    Incase anyone out there is interested. The trailer for today's Jeremy Vine show on BBC radio 2 at 12noon includes an item on a WWT project to take Spoon-billed Sand eggs for captive hatching (apparently 3 eggs were lost in the relocation process) ... Chris A.
