Stripe-backed Antbirds and Hangnest Tody-Tyrants in the area. The rocky plateaus festooned in flowering cacti provided us with the spectacular sight of Ruby Topaz and Sapphire-spangled Emeralds only a few feet from us as we watched them buzzing around us. We eventually located a couple of Pygmy Nightjars after finding a few Little Nightjars, much to the relief of everyone as we started to sweat in the midday sun before leaving for the Chapada Diamantina.
