It’s not just birds

There’s lots of wildlife in Costa Rica, and just because we’re birders doesn’t mean we don’t care about the rest.  Here’s a sample of the rest of the wildlife from today, three of which were the stars of the day.

Costa Rica

We’re in Costa Rica at the moment, on a birding tour.  It’s all going rather well, with a few days in the ominously named Cerro de la Muerte proving somewhat less deadly than threatened, but had some superb birds that were high on my must-see list.  We’re now down in the steamy lowlands with a day of forest birding ahead of us.  Here are a few pictures to be going on with.
