Lesser Roadrunner

The hardest fought for bird of the whole trip - it was while we were looking for Roadrunners that we were attacked by bees, we had allowed three days at Rio Lagartos to give us a good chance of seeing one but by the end of day two we knew that left us only one dawn in which we stood any chance so we resorted to hiring Diego Nunez of BirdingYucatan for three hours to take us out.  It was only in the last 5 minutes that Wayne spotted this one on the track in front of the car so this shot was very much a desperate point and shoot whilst getting out of a car kind of image.

Incidently this was only minutes away from where we had the bee attack!
