Andean Cock-of-the Rock


An absolute highlight, at a point when I didn't think I was going to be able to go on ( but knew I had no choice), collapsed by the stream as Roberto cooked rice especially for my wonky tum, I looked up to see one of the birds that I have dreamed of for years - the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock. And what a cock he is - extraordinary colour and this eye that just dances around looking at you. He and his mate spend about 20 mins cavorting - I didn't even have to get up from the half-dead prone position! Man!
Our photos weren't good enough, so we pinched someone else's - -
