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.
