Whip Bird

The picture is of a bush turkey seen on our walk in the rainforest.  But I would have loved to show you a photo of the whip bird.  It makes a sound exactly like the crack of a whip.  Exactly!  We could hear it all through our walk, but they are quite shy and never spotted one.  Even the locals walking with us had never seen one.

In a completely unrelated note, most of the coffee here is instant which suits us just fine since Hans can’t drink caffeinated coffee anyway, and I’m afraid to drink it when we’re travelling in the bus as I’d have to ask Steve to stop at every post.
