At a friendīs feeder lower down at about 1100m there was a quick visit from a Long-billed Starthroat. Wish Iīd caught the gorget lit up but itīll have to be another day.

Another great shot, Peter!
As you know the plain-capped star throat come my way, and only a few times have I managed to 'catch' that beautiful gorget literally 'glowing'.
