Costa Rica
Last minute news- 9/2023- Ecuador

We photographed in several placed on Costa Rica. In such a small country it is sometimes a matter of several dozen kilometers and one has to do with completely different species. The transportation was the biggest problem. The roads in Costa Rica do not belong to good ones, and in order to drive 80 kilometers we had to spend 3 hours in a car. We reached another photography spot. A new thing for us there was a morning photography session by a not very large white sheet, next to which a bulb was left for the night turned on. The light attracted insects all night.

Although the resplendent quetzal also belongs to the family Trogonidae but has already been presented in the introductory text to the expedition to Costa Rica, so here we have a few words about other trogons. Well, as in the case of motmots it was not easy to encounter trogons. But when they were already found the same scenario took place. A trogon that quietly sat in a tree watched the surroundings, turning its head from left to right and back again. After a few minutes it flew away, but usually not too far, to the nearby branch, and the session could be continued.

This gallery was created only at the prompt of my guide  in Turkey, Kerema. Thank you Kerema. It was he who drew my attention to a stranger in a large group of gulls –. Fortunately, it took our presence for granted and it began feeding and flying around us and our cameras. All the photos were taken in the same spot and are therefore a bit monotonous, but this is what my first encounter with the Slender-billed Gull was like. It is rarely found in Poland. It inhabits the Mediterranean and India. Its size is similar to the Black-headed gull.
