Best wishes Pat.

My late mother also had her birthday on St Patrick's Day, once every six or seven years also coinciding with Mothers' Day in the UK.

Bit late to this party, but if you're still in the tropics, here's hoping some extra special rare birds pose for your camera to celebrate ... :)
Remember: if the world's bees disappear, we become extinct with them ...

I'm back home now and I have to say that bird-wise the trip was somewhat of a disappointment in terms of birds even seen well let alone photographed. If I hadn't been to Costa Rica before I'd be thinking it's not very good for birds but I know that's not the case.

Insect-wise it was a massive disappointment. I think I must have set my expectations too high, but there was very little to see, even when I went out at night with my torch. Bizarrely the most numerous creatures were harvestmen, several different species. Would you believe I only saw two grasshoppers the whole time I was there?

I did get photos of a couple of good bugs and I'll post them in the photography thread.
