    Now this little cutie is one of the birds I most wanted to see on this trip! As it turns out, they are much more skulking and difficult to get out on the open than their northern cousin, of which I got a lovely photo last year.
    In the end I managed this decent photo, but this is a juvenile.
    Check out these incredible photos to see the "wiretail" in all its glory.
