Wildlife Photos from Around the World

By Judi Helsby

In 2012 we visited Ecuador on a wildlife trip. Our guide informed us of a rare bird which had been a regular visitor to a small nature reserve and he suggested we might like to try to see this bird. This meant a car journey along a very rough and bumpy track for over an hour. Three times we tried and on the third visit we were rewarded with excellent views of the Banded Ground Cuckoo. Usually found more towards Colombia in difficult terrain. Look out for the photo. Ecuador is also home to many other beautiful birds – my favourites being the Tanagers and the Trogons.

Here is a selection of some of the wildlife we saw. Please click on any photo if you want a larger view.

    Ground cuckoo is special. Is that ‘Maria’ I can see too?
