Brian not long back from a family holiday to Costa Rica which inadvertently turned into a partial birding trip too as he found that he had accidently packed his camera and binoculars as well.
Brian stayed near Playa Ocotal on the north-west Pacific coast 21 March-4 April plus a few trips further afield.
Brian tweeted a lot of stuff while he was there, here are some of his 'highlights of highlights':-
 |
| Laughing Falcon |
 |
| Double-striped Thick-knee |
 |
| Southern Lapwing |
 |
| Purple-throated Mountain Gem & Violet Saberwing Hummingbird |
 |
| Long-tailed Manakin & Keel-billed Toucan |
 |
| Scarlet Macaw & Three Wattled Bellbird |
In all, he managed 108 new species during the brief spells he was sober.
Very many thanks Brian.
