The Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

This blog has been a little short on posts the last few months but over the next few days all will change as we start uploading the best of 5000+ images and videos we have taken over the past 2 weeks during our trip to the Yucatan Peninsula in Southern Mexico.  We have birded our way covering around 3000km starting in Cancun where we picked up our car from Easyway and then took the following route; Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to Coba to Felipe Carrillo Puerto to Calakmul to Santa Elena/Uxmal to Rio Lagartos to Tulum.  Accommodation was picked up on route and varied in quality and price and ranged from ridiculously cheap to ridiculously expensive.  Wayne is writing a full trip report and a link will be posted when finished.  A total of 228 species of birds were seen and here’s the first video to get things started, a fabulous forest bird the Mexican Antthrush.

    Are you still traveling? We are only about 260 miles south of Tulum just north of Monkey River! Village in Belize. Come on down!

      That's really kind of you but we got back to the UK yesterday! I should have put posts on while we were there but internet was hit and miss - it would have been lovely to meet you, next time we are over your way I'll let you know!
