I'm back home from a fantastic 3 week photo shoot in Panama. I'll be sharing lots of images in the upcoming weeks and I thought I'd start with one of my favourite birds of the trip...

Black-crowned Antpitta

These guys have to be one of the best looking Antpitta's. Or are they Gnatpitta's? For those who don't know this genus Pittasoma has just 2 members and the taxonomy and naming has been a bit all over the place.

All I know is this is one good looking bird! 😮
