These guys live high up in the Andes above the tree line. Despite their beautiful plumage they can be difficult to find! We got lucky with my first group in Ecuador and had a pair feeding right in front of us. It was fantastic!

Blimey that was long hike to make :) Well worth the effort though. What a lovely bird even if it's name is a bit of a mouthful :)

I do like those patterns.
