SCALLOP-BREASTED ANTPITTA perched on a small branch perhaps 5 metres away from us. It stayed put for maybe 20 seconds, flew down and past us, worked its way around in a circle, and disappeared back the way it had come, not to be seen again. What a moment!! This is what these trips are all about for me - the slog, the sweat and the effort, all gloriously repaid by a magical sighting such as this. More

Scallop-breasted Antpitta on Choroni Rd (Hilty in Birds of Venezuela denotes a visual record by K. Zimmer there in the past), and we entered the forest and Pepe played a vocalizationon via minidisc. More

species (Plain-flanked Rail and Scallop-breasted Antpitta) have been rediscovered since then. I had a limited amount of time that I could be away so a short trip was perfect for me. I had never been to Venezuela so many birds were new to me. We decided to hire a guide for this trip. I usually prefer to bird on my own without paying for a local guide. More
