[Here are parts 2 and 3] In January I went to Costa Rica to take photos of the incredible wildlife. What an amazing place. I went to three different areas to see what I could find. There's so much more to explore there and the more I've photographed, the more [...]
We've had an unusual visitor: a lesser grey shrike Lanius minor. This bird sometimes 'larders' its surplus food on a thorn to keep for later. I wouldn't like to be a butterfly or cricket when it's around! Even though it was lovely yesterday to see such an oddity in the north [...]
