Cock of the Rock Lodge,Manu National Park

Deep in the cloud forest of the Manu National Park,Cock of the Rock Lodge lies adjacent to an active Lek of the eponymous birds.It's also a great place for hummingbirds.It's always damp here and we arrived in pouring rain which pretty much continued during our stay.My first dawn visit to the lek was deeply frustrating-I didn't get any worthwhile shots;it was just too dark.I learned,and returned twice for afternoon sessions armed with flash and the relatively fast 70-200 f2.8 and achieved better results.I had a great time trying to photograph the hummingbirds-my first real attempt and another learning experience!
