Panama - return to Canopy Tower...

We were getting towards the end of our filming trip in Panama and returned once more to the Canopy Tower for a few more days before heading into Panama City itself. There were still some great birds to be seen, my favourite being this shy Crimson-crested Woodpecker.

A large, rather stunning woodpecker

They are very weary birds and this one never came very close. They are found from Panama south to Paraguay - sadly their numbers are declining.



Blue Cotinga - a magnificent bird!

They have a very distinctive bill, even from a distance.

The moth light was worth staying up for too. The sheer number and variety of species was simply staggering. Some species looked similar to families found here in the UK while others are like nothing I've ever seen before. This is just a small selection of the  species on the sheet...a nice way to end our stay here.
