Hi all,
I have seen that a lot of you have posted some terrific flight shots recently so I thought that I would join the trend. This is a Indigo Macaw (also known as Lear's Macaw) one of the rarest birds in the world and critically endangered. Witnessing these birds from a cliffside in northeastern Brazil was a highlight of last year and my whole birding career to be honest. Background is the cliffside where these birds nest and breed in large caves.
All comments welcome!
