In this place, when you're not enjoying the beach, you're enjoying the jungle:























We have actually seen a lot more wildlife from our apartment balcony, than we did when we queued up at 6:00 am and fought the crowds at Manuel Antonio National Park.



Michele - the wildlife photographer


She could be forgiven for wanting a better camera:





























This camera looked a lot more professional before it encountered Cuban sun screen.  If that's what the sun screen did to the camera, I hate to think what it did to us.


Coatis:  Costa Rica's thieving raccoons


These animals will steal anything.  Dustbins have to be reinforced against them.

I was more intimidated by them, than they were by me:





























Armadillo





















Frog's Nest

Birds


Wren























Magpie-Jay





Iguana


























Almost looks like a smile

The sound is out of all proportion to their size.  I guess this was the one making all the noise....yes....that would be a guy




















Mother and child were a lot quieter:
