They tend to say low in the undergrowth, and if my experience is anything to go by, low down in overgrown gullies and washes at that. This bird sat against a busy background in deep shade, with no completely clear line-of-sight. Not easy! I am happy to have gotten what I did\u2026but I long for an easy Jacamar on one of these trips. \ud83d\ude42 Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent.
