APRIL 24th
The weather remains constant and birding is quiet beyond the
regular species. Sjouke and I have carried out some more survey work as well as
search for the shyer species using playback. The pigeons and Doves are now
forming mixed flocks before roosting. There seem to be more Pale vented
Pigeons and Eared Dove around but they have flocked so they are easier to count
with the usual White tipped flotilla of birds.
I photographed a bird today along the Mboijagua trail which
could be one of two species White crested or Grey capped Tyrannulet so this will remain
unidentified until I bump into it again!

The most exciting news in the last day is a pair of Collared
Forest Falcon who visited a salt lick in the Atlantic Forest which was camera
trapped therefore no one saw them!! This species is the first record for Laguna
Blanca and a lifer for me if I get to see them! Sadly they have not visited the
spot since the 16th but may still be in the forest.

The weather is due to change at the weekend so
hopefully it will bring some new migrants in!
