According to the plan, we were up, packed, breakfasted and ready to check out at 0730 this morning - just in time to be picked up for our kayak trip on Lake Arenal. Slightly offputting that it was still raining, but we knew we would be getting wet anyway.
It turned out to be a great trip, the rain was only intermittent amd the wind and waves only affected one leg of the trip. However we had some great bird sightings and were able to get very close without disturbing them. Saw Ringed, Amazon and Green Kingfishers along with Snowy and Great Egrets, and three Great Blue Herons - including one which was being harassed by an Osprey! There were also Northern Jacanas, a flock of Whistling Ducks and Scarlet-Rumped Tanagers. However the real surprise was a Limpkin which is very unusual for the area.
Unfortunately, in my rush to get the binoculars from the drybag, I managed to drop my sunglasses and Linda´s watch over the side and was too slow to catch them. Guess that will cost me when we get somewhere with a proper jewellers!
