Last night the clouds came down again and produced this most amazing light effect.
Today started at 5.30am when we met our guide Andreas at reception for a bird and nature walk in the Mistico Park. This is a privately owned 600 hectare property dedicated to preserving the cloud and rain forest. It has well maintained paths, bridges and huge suspension bridges along the 2.9 mile hike.
It was as you can see very misty first thing in the morning. It was difficukt to spot the birds as they were so well camouflaged. Andreas did well in seeing many that we were not able to spot. The property is beautiful with a pristine stream running through it that begins at the top of the property with a very fast flowing spring.
After the above photo my camera ran out of battery! So photos of the birds were taken by Andreas on my iphone through the scope.
Breakfast of fruit and a sandwich followed after our walk.
We were then taken on a boat ride around Lago Arenal, again to spot birds.
Lake Arenal is within a reserve area, so picnics and swimming are highly discouraged. This is to keep the area from being damaged.
From the opposite end of the lake, we left the boat to walk along the Arenal Peninsular, once again to enjoy nature and search for birds. Our guide even spotted a new dpecies of bird for him! The area abounds in bird life!
