Spent countless mornings getting up before sunrise this month in the hope of continuing my barn owl project from earlier in the year which has yielded a couple of successful mornings.

One of Brazil’s most beautiful bird! The Araripe Manakin🇧🇷
Endemic to a small area in Ceará, this species is found only near freshwater springs along the Chapada do Araripe. They are Critically Endangered due to habitat loss and water depletion.
