Since we did not know the day we would be able to arrange access to the reserve, we decided to stay a couple of days in the area to ensure we would be able to visit the reserve. Since we visited on the first day we could, we had an additional day free. With access to the reserve difficult, we found a farm track through another area of forest nearby and decided to bird this instead.
The birding
was nice, but unexceptional. The undoubted highlight was a Solitary Tinamou
that we spotted creeping through the understory. We also spotted at least two Red-rumped
Agoutis crossing the road, and a family party of Crested Capuchin, but
otherwise there was nothing exceptional to report.
We spent
the afternoon relaxing in the hotel room, recovering from the last weeks
travelling.
