I spotted this unusual bird in the most unlikely spot; just outside our hotel room door while on the way for coffee.

The long, heavy tail of this lizard is covered in whorls of intimidating spines, and its feet are equipped with sharp claws.

The Magnificent frigatebird can be found in many places around the globe, but I’ve never seen so many as on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

Manuel Antonio National Park is Costa Rica’s smallest national parks but you’re guaranteed to see amazing flora and fauna and our trip was no exception.

We were determined to document as many animals and insects as I could and Costa Rica did not disappoint.
