Another great day in the Pantanal, despite the increasing mosquito load.<\/p>\n

The morning boat trip with Pantanal Nature produced another Jaguar encounter, our fifth in total.<\/p>\n

We intercepted a huge male swimming across the river, just too late before it reached the shore and disappeared promptly into the forest:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again we had breathtaking experiences with actively feeding Giant Otters. Amazing to see them fish together, fight over fish, scream, so close we could hear the fish bones crush between their teeth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hungry Anhingas<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Disgusting Black Vulture<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again lots of good birds. Back at Panthera ranch birds were very active before the rain.<\/p>\n

What goes in<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Needs to go out (Buff-necked ibis)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m a screamer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the rain had stopped in the afternoon we birded on foot and by car around the camp and along the Transpantaneira road. Nice to experience some open country birding.<\/p>\n

American Pygmy Kingfisher<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Barred Antshrike<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stayed out until darkness fell. On the way back we had a fantastic encounter with an Ocelot that crossed the road, and say many nightjars, mainly Common Pauraque.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Fernando for a great afternoon.<\/p>\n
