Colombia Days 1-2; Medellin-Bahia Solano Part 2
Bienvenidos
El Almejal lodge
Colourful yet tough local transport
Male Red-legged Honeycreeper
Our friendly lodge spider (which scared the living willies out of me). Perhaps an Argiope of sorts (note pretty collections of victims it background)
The way to the river which laughably pretended to be a path,
The wettest track I have ever birded on led to soaking, appalling views of the rather unimpressive endemic called the Baudo Oropendola
The best reward, though, was this sodden Grey-capped Cuckoo, a scarce and normally-elusive bird
Dragonfly sp.
A soaked Peter Dedicoat of Avian Adventures looks unimpressed by the weather
The way back over the El Valle River
Basilisk lizard
