Wonder Wetlands Panama Border

Last week I went to see the relatives who live on the panama border region of Costa Rica, the weather was fantastic and very humid and we spent 3 days only as the house is in the middle of town and it is very noisy so little sleep was had. It was our christmas visit and we handed out presents and chatted with everyone and then on the only afternoon spare we took the father-in-law out for a drive through the old banana plantations which now are fully planted with oil palm. there are some wetlands near the river and it was alive with birds, mostly birds that eat fish but also full of ducks and some migratory birds that i find impossible to identify. they really do all look the same.

The amount of Birds in cluding the Roseate Spoonbill, its pink




The father-in-law feeds the birds in his garden, fantastic birds come all day for the Bananas




There are Crocs in the rivers, sometimes they eat the kids but mostly nobody notices them missing as they have large families




Southern Costa Rica is a paradise, but living amongst the poor people is a difficult thing as they just want to steal all your things. So if we ever want to live there we would need to have a live in or live next door groundsman/gardener and wife, it si the only way to keep all your things and even then he may steal it himself and say it was robbers. Life is such
