Blue-winged teal gathering - in flight 5, Tumaco, Colombia
With this second wave of Blue-winged Teals in flight, finally our coverage of our Colombia 2018 trip has come to an end. It took 6 months to share it, and has led to 1,600 photos:

The set is twice as large as our typical set of 700-800, for a few reasons:
- Moths! (about 400 of them)
- The stunning biodiversity hot spots we attended in themselves
- Our own productivity (squeezing everything out of a day)
In terms of productivity, I don't think we can top ourselves in the future, there's just not more time in a day, but you can be sure that we will try. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback and the tremendous help I got regarding IDs.
