Don't do political stuff and this isn't really. These are pictures of a small stretch of coastline in Yucatan, Mexico. It's unremarkable in its significance and I doubt more than a thousand people have ever walked down it. We must do more. #Litter #Mexico
But as you can see it is also beautiful.

Absolutely hammered it down with rain all afternoon, finally stopped and made our way from the bar back to the room. A Great Black Hawk sat in the trees. Fantastic new lifer and completely unexpected.

New lifer; the Gray Catbird, also very happy to have caught the Belted Kingfisher in flight. Difficult to pickup due to the speed of flight.

Trialling new camera today. Very happy with the results, old camera was very poor at picking up birds in flight.
