About the Image(s)

I thought I would field something different - and to me anyway, a tad unusual for this December time of the month. Costa Rica is a fabulous place for birds - I’ve enjoyed 3 fortnight trips there, the last of which was in 2022, when our guide took us to a place that was known to have an unusual bird, at least within Costa Rica (they are a regular sight within South America and 3 of the Caribbean Islands). It is nocturnal, resting by day on tree stumps and disguises itself by adjusting its posture for what it thinks that is appropriate for the stump. It has huge yellow/orange eyes - you will have to take my word for that! I’ve added a side view and a close up of the baby, sitting in a sort of pouch. Anyway, have a merry Christmas all and with Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!
