A spectacled owl (Oropopo) flew right over my head, as we were trudging through the rainforest in La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. It moved between the trees silently, but gave me enough chance to get a few photos. Now you know who's-hooo.

No word to the wise.

Taken in the La Selva Biological Station, in Costa Rica. From the bridge I saw a terrapin sitting peacefully on a log with a butterfly sittings on its nose. It didn't seem bothered, but it felt like there was a story there

[Darren Young @fiducially_]

"Where to next?", said the terrapin to the butterfly

In a pinch.

Common Black Hawk, fighting with and eventually carrying off a crab.

I saw the hawk land near the crab as I was crossing a lagoon, and had to awkwardly (and shoelessly) shuffle at speed towards it to get a shot. They went at it for a while, before the hawk got an angle on the crab and carried it off. We found it later that morning, mid-meal.

Let me fly.

Coppery-headed Emerald, weighing in at around just 3 grams (7 souls, by MacDougall's count). Seen whilst exploring Curi-Cancha reserve.

The secret life of Coatis.

A large family of Coatis passed us during a hike in
Corcovado National Park - on the Osa Peninsula in
Costa Rica.

@jokuwildlife @CambsBirdClub Nice!

[Darren Young @fiducially_]

Almost heaven.

Last night’s view over Johannesburg. Nearing the end of my trip, I decided to spend a few days in the city proper.
