costa rica 2011 costa rica 2011 this web page contains a photographic record of a trip to costa rica in november 2011 the images are roughly in chronolgical order of our journey from the capital san jose to the wetlands of tortuguero on the caribbean coast then via the rain and cloud forests surrounding sarapiqui and monteverde to manuel antonio on the pacific coast a total of one hundred and forty new bird species were recorded during this 15 night adventure in order to view all the images please click on older posts at the end of the first and subsequent pages thursday 15 december 2011 we were informed that the two best methods of getting close to species of both animals and birds for photographs was to explore as close as possible the various canopies of the rain and cloud forests method one suggested was the use of canopy high walkways not to be recommended if you suffer from vertigo or have problems with balance we found the best method of transversing these often swaying and oscillating suspension bridges was to crawl along them on all fours this of course made it difficult to focus the camera the second recommended method of getting close to the canopy was zip wiring the main problem with this method was the effect on the canopy s fauna of my dear wife screaming constantly whilst we travelled at high speed across the top of the forest thus defeating the aim of getting close to any wildlife additionally holding the camera steady proved difficult after further experimentation we concluded that a gentle walk around the grounds of our many hotels produced the best results we hope you enjoy our efforts posted by peter martin beesley at 13 01 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest acadian flycatcher acadian flycatcher san
