Scarlet Macaw drinking @ clay lick- Yasuni NP, Ecuador.
I'm primarily a mammals photographer, but one cannot visit Ecuador and ignore the superb bird life. Having said that, revisiting the remote Napo River after a 26 year absence has really seen a dramatic rise in boat traffic pertaining to the oil industry, and the effect that has had on birdlife, marine life, mammals & reptiles cannot be underestimated. One highlight being witness to a small flock of Scarlet Macaws drinking at a clay lick, very cautiously they dropped down one by one and my patience in waiting for over 4 hrs was well rewarded! Captured from inside a small concrete hide and an 800M walk inside the rainforest to this small waterhole clay lick. Having this hide all to myself and getting the shot before a crowd of 20+ arrived trying to cram in was superbly lucky in timing. Nikon D500 Nikkor 180-400 f/4E -1 EV f/4 1/800s ISO2200@ 390mm. Cheers Marc |
