Colpa El Gato uncovered
Within the last two weeks an access trail to Colpa El Gato has now been created, allowing researchers better access to one of the only colpas of the region that has so far escaped regular long term monitoring. However, the 2 hour walk to get there means the team may well be fit enough to run a marathon by the end of this! We hope Julie Shapiro is able to shed some light on one of the only clay licks in the region that has no disturbance due to boat traffic. The photo here is of a cloud of Cobalt-winged parakeets flushed from El Gato last year.
