Keel-billed Toucan

Flamboyant and rainbow coloured I couldn't help but love this toucan today on the Caribbean slopes of Costa Rica with it's slow moving head eyeing up it's surroundings.

We've driven from the capital San Jose eastwards through the clouds, rain and beautiful countryside. We stopped on the way for fabulous Costarican coffee, a delicious crushed ice and strawberry drink along with specialites of the house for a morning snack before arriving here at Lagarto Lodge where the photography started in earnest. 

1500 photos later I am just choosing a picture to get it up there before I loose the battery and Wi-fi connection. 

An exciting day tomorrow and sleep is called for!
