Had a fantastic 1st trip to Costa Rica last month. The birding opportunities there left in a permanent state of "Awe" for a week.

The color in this is stunning even though I find the speckles of dust (?) a little bit distracting. On the other hand, I don't mind the out of focus flower behind the bird. I think it really compliments the beautiful color on that bill.
Can I ask how easy is it to do bird photography there? Do you need to go with a tour?
Adhika, the speckcles are rain drops :S3:. Toucans are not very tough to find if you are at the right place. You really dont need a tour company and can plan things yourself. I have shared a lot of info on my blog if you want to plan and need some help - https://wildescapadesphotography.wor...of-costa-rica/Quote:

It is still a pleasing image though Supreet.
I do like the perch, the bird and the water drops. However, I find the flower in the BG above the bird's head destructing. TFS.
