Steve Howell on his just completed tour to San Blas, Mexico

San Blas was ‘wonderful as usual.’ The great range of habitats, from mangrove boat rides and cool pine-oak forest to deserted beaches and shade-coffee plantations, produced over 250 fabulous bird species, and a very comfortable accommodation with great food and hospitality made for a most delightful week.

The many avian highlights included this confiding Colima Pygmy-Owl

A beautifully sunlit Mangrove Cuckoo,

Stunning Citreoline Trogons feeding in a fig tree right beside the highway,

And the very local Mexican Woodnymph.

As well as birds and other wildlife we enjoyed some stunning sunsets, this one on our last evening.
