Another old photo. I’m getting very nostalgic all of a sudden. Tanagers are seen by some as avian rats but I thing they must have been dreamed up by the likes of Picasso. This Flame-faced Tanager I took way back when I visited Ecuador just hit me as being magnificently coloured.
Looking at holiday footage of ‘birdy’ friends’ the other day prompted me to look back at some of my own photos taken some years ago in South America.
Swinging in a Hammock on the veranda of a rainforest lodge high in the Andes of Ecuador I remember opening one eye and glancing sideways. The vision of a Flame faced Tanager met me.
