One of the waterholes in the hills. Water is permanent, and many animals come to drink here, like these 2 marmosets (Callithrix Jacchus). I have a hide nearby, which I use for taking pictures (including this one) and for recording vocalizations.

During most of the day, the waterhole is in the shade of the surrounding trees. The shade is pleasant for the animals of the forest, but can be a problem for the photographer, who wants sunlight for good pictures.
