This beauty is VERY special as most of you know.
For those who don't, this is the only bird whose bill is longer than its body !!!
When i set out to Ecuador, this was one of my dreams. 
Off to Brazil soon. This time, I am dreaming of the Frilled Coquette.
Enjoy, ugolino

Cool-looking species and find. Makes you wonder how he balances the weight in flight.

Ugolino, you're on a roll with all the fancy-billed birds, this good profile pose shows off its impressive length - nice one!
