I had just ended my ten-day birding adventure in Ecuador (which is a story for another time) when I decided, since I had an amazing time, to prolong my trip a bit longer before heading back to Europe. I had never been to Colombia before so didn’t know the best birding spots in the vicinity of the capital. Ah, what the heck!

We were in the remote Amazonian forests and not a sound was to be heard except for the rhythmical dripping of water from the raised paddles. I was as quiet as a church mouse, waked the camera and let the lens rest on my lap. Do you hear that song?” At first nothing. Then I heard it. Finally the species was complete.

I photographed this Guianan Cock-of-the-rock at a lek site near Surama, deep in the rainforest zone of Guyana, and my incredible experience with Andean Cock-of-the-rocks was at a display lek on the edge of the town of Jardin, in the coffee-belt of Colombia, both just incredible birds that make the heart soar with joy!
