Probably one of my favorite photos I took so far. Love the pollen and wings details.
I was taking a photo of the bottom toad, and then the top one came out of the hole! Adorable.

TORRENT TYRANNULET Serpophaga cinerea. An adult Torrent Tyrannulet is feeding an insect to a fledgling on a boulder in the Río Mindo near Mindo in northwestern Ecuador on May 10, 2013. On this morning we discovered two fledgling Torrent Tyrannulets being fed by two adults. We watched them for about 40 minutes as the adults would fly off over the water in search of insect food and the young would wait to beg when an adult would fly in. The fledglings were fully capable of flight and were sometimes together and sometimes in different locations. The Torrent Tyrannulet is a neotropical flycatcher belonging to the avian family Tyrannidae.

The Malachite Kingfisher (Corythornis Cristatus) is a small bird, 13 cm in length. The general colour of the upper parts of the adult bird is bright metallic blue. The head has a short crest of black and blue feathers, which gives rise to the scientific name.
The flight of the Malachite Kingfisher is rapid, the short rounded wings whirring until they appear a mere blur. It usually flies low over water. The bird has regular perches or stands from which it fishes. These are usually low over the water.
It sits upright, its tail pointed downwards. It drops suddenly with a splash and usually returns at once with a struggling captive.
Large food items are beaten on a bough or rail; small fish and insects are promptly swallowed. A fish is usually lifted and carried by its middle, but its position is changed, sometimes by tossing it into the air, before it is swallowed head downwards.
