The Middle of the World

 Hummingbirds 

It´s high time Brel spent some time apart. And with Brendan writing away and working hard to meet deadlines, I ventured into the Ecuadorian cloudforest for the weekend. Two hours from Quito (the capital and largest city in Ecuador) lies a beautiful, mostly untouched cloudforest. And you get to cross the equator 3 times on your way there, which is kind of cool.

Staying at an extremely remote eco-lodge 2,200 metres from sea level, I  added some great birds to to my collection: new trogons, a multi-colored toucan, and a whole array of hummigbirds. Can´t wait for the birding in the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands…and of course, having my birding companion with me…Brendan really is a good spotter…
