I have always had a fascination with highly coloured birds and possibly the hummingbirds of Central America are the most prized of all. Generally I have felt the pull of the cold North in terms of my photography but occasionally I gat a hankering for the hotter jungles of Africa and the Americas. I had never been to Costa Rica and armed with the new 5Dmk3 and the expectations of high ISO’s I decided a couple of weeks would be a great tonic to the grey of March in the UK. I was not disappointed, an amazing country and fantastic wildlife, a place I will definitely go back to.
