Failed twitch.
2 10 2009I bumped into Nick Athanas of Tropical Birding the other day in a local restaurant, and he told me he had seen, that morning, no less than a Shrike-like Cotinga at Folha Seca!
Elis and I rushed over but failed to find it, didn’t even hear it calling.
We braved the drizzle for an hour or so, had the frustration of meeting a local teacher who had seen the bird in the morning when Nick was there, and felt doubly depressed when she said she had absolutely no interest in birds at all!
Ah well, you win some and you lose some.
