Here's some shots of birds and butterflies from Rio Ayutla in the Sierra Gorda last weekend. We camped here for a night - what a superb place! A great little restaurant, superb swimming in the river, and really good wildlife nearby.

As well as the Green Kingfisher, there was also a Belted Kingfisher feeding in the river, and Spotted Sandpipers and Blue-winged Teals dashing back and forth. A few American warblers had just arrived - Wilson's, Black-and-White, Yellow, and there were some interesting mixed flocks of passerines including Blue-grey Gnatcatchers, Tufted Titmouse,Varied Bunting, Altamira Oriole, Yellow-winged Tanagers and Social Flycatchers.
