My Mexico holiday finished with a few days in the San Blas area - one trip out to see the humpback whales in the bay, and a few walks to see the local birds. There were quite a few crocodiles around in the wetlands too, which are great to photograph as they mostly don't move. Look carefully at the crocodile above and you will see that two of its lower teeth have grown right through the upper jaw...
We saw some nice birds, most of which I did not get to photograph as I don't have the right camera - maybe not the right photographic skills either. But this lineated woodpecker posed nicely with its crest in the sun.
As did this citreoline trogon - shown in a back view so that you can see the deep blue of its back and tail - although it did turn round for some nice front shots too.
The amazing nocturnal northern potoo - look at the eye!!
Finally, whilst they aren't as spectacular as the birds above, I did love this group of groove-billed anis warming themselves in the early morning sun:
