Given its large range, amazing how we managed to dodge it all these years, nice one! Posted 3 years ago

That's a very casual looking member of the family! Posted 3 years ago

    Well, I've seen the rufescent tiger slinking about, the little blue heron and others flitting all over the place and the Agami being just so shy. It seems quite proud!! Posted 3 years ago

      Ahaha I would say this one is definitely a skulker! It's the first time I've seen one fully out in the open!
      (Also, I'm terribly jealous that you've seen the Agami, that's one that sits very high on my Latin American Most Wanted list!) Posted 3 years ago

        I like this, and will have to live in hope. The Agami was definitely a real skulker, so I know when I get to it, I will need a lot of imagination, as it was definitely hiding away!! {{;¬o Posted 3 years ago
