Buenaventura IX

In Buenaventura you´re always going to be confronted with snakes. this onbe was lying on the path in the forest. All pictures: Claudia Hermes



we found this little baby-snake during the clean-up of the mud-slide pictured below



it somehow liked me and didn´t want to leave any more



Buenaventura VIII

Daily routine in Buenaventura: a mud-slide covers the road and impedes driving further. The road underneath got swept totally into the valley. All pictures: Claudia Hermes




The Beast

As always everything´s bigger in Ecuador. This caterpillar shouldn´t be touched at all. Burns like hell. All pictures: Claudia Hermes or camera of Claudia Hermes




Tapaculo II

Back in Buenaventura searching the dem El Oro Tapaculo. UNfortunately, my camera got stolen in Manabi by some jackasses. Therefore for now pictures from other peoples cameras. All pictures: Claudia Hermes or camera of Claudia Hermes

Attracting with playback



A completely banded Tapaculo



Here one can see how little the color of the Tapaculo is distinguishable from the background (=mud)
