Yucatan, Half-way through

Apologies for the lack of posts recently.

I'm half way through a two-week trip to the Yucatan peninsula, one of the birding hotspots of Mexico. So far visited some superb spots, including the mangroves of Celestun, the salt lagoons of Progresso and the Mayan ruins of Uxmal and Calakmul. Needless to say, these places have thrown up some great birds.

Highlights so far have included such specialities as Turqoisep-crowned Motmot, Keel-billed Toucan, Crane Hawk, Collared Forest Falcon, a whopping 11 species of Heron (including Boat-billed and Bare-throated Tiger) and more than 100 other different species.

I will be updating the blog with lots of detailed reports and pictures at the beginning of May.
