  • I spent two months volunteering as a guide at Bellavista Lodge in northwestern Ecuador January and February 2015. During my time I managed to capture some video footage of the forest wildlife and birdlife, which I have finally got around to editing into this video.

    Only just now stumbling across this nice video. It shoots me back in time, to Aug 2005. I spent a few nights at Bellavista, moseying along the tracks on my own. Missed much, as you do without a guide, not knowing any sounds. Still got some good birds, but seldom good photos if you catch my drift... But, thanks to some more or less shitty photos I got ID later.
    Returned to Ecuador 3 more times after that. 2011 we were all over the place with Jonas Nilsson as a guide. Main focus was the south, but we had a few days both in NW, NE and Napo WC. I had bought a little videocam that I tried to use, while mainly birding and just taking photographs. The result is as bad as you can imagine, when you try to serve too many masters and don't have the physical stamina to carry all necessary equipment (as a TRIPOD for instance).
    Oh, all that shaky footage!
    Yours is a joy for the eyes (and ears)!
    If you wanna see my shit, it's uploaded here on YT, you only have to click my username.

    Nice to recognise a few friends from when I loved in the dry forest of Northern Peru.

    Wow, wow, i have no words for such a majestic nature on earth. The colors are so so amazing. I'm motivated to capture such birds with my lens. Great efforts friends.

    Fantastic footage Ben. From my trip a few years ago I appreciate how difficult it is to see some of those species, let alone to film them!

      @benporter3061  6 лет назад

      It certainly is! I spent two months as a general volunteer at the lodge but ended up working as an extra bird guide for most of my time there. Check out their website for more info: www.bellavistacloudforest.com/ and drop them an email to inquire!

    Оказывается райские птицы поют очень плохо, не мелодично и не приятно на слух.Но зато у них красивое, разноцветное оперение, да еще и разнообразной формой. Чего нельзя сказать за наших, скромно " одетых" пташек, но замечательных певцов, пением которых просто заслушиваешься.И даже наши красивые пестрые дятлы и красногрудые снегири поют так себе: какие-то резкие звуки и щелчки, как и тропические ихние собратья.А чем неприметнее птичка, типа соловей или дрозд, тем прекраснее она поет.
