Antarctica - Gentoo Penguin  - introductory text

My output from this family of birds so far is two species, photographed in Thailand and Srilanka (chickadees). So not much. In Ecuador, I managed to photograph 8 species (antpittas)! They are difficult to photograph and without the help of local guides it would have been impossible. The guides had to spend a lot of time beforehand to make them an attraction for observers, photographers. They live naturally on the bottom of a tropical moist forest. They are small, secretive and difficult to see, let alone photograph.

In Botswana, it was only possible to photograph a female of this world's largest kingfisher. This was one brief encounter. In Gambia there were three encounters with this kingfisher during which we also managed to photograph a male of Giant Kingfisher.
