Broad-billed Motmot

La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Taken in a somewhat dark rain forest in the rain at the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. I was so happy I was the one that spotted him. A big part of the thrill of wildlife photography, for me anyway, is actually finding them in the first place.

I see that you were using a 150mm on this bird. A very striking photograph, and so close. This is difficult photography, and I am rarely able to get more than a blur, even when using a 250mm.

Outstanding shot of this fantastic bird - colours are exceptional! Good on you for finding it; I understand completely the delight in finding something rather than having it found by another.VV

Beautiful bird and great shot of it Dan. Good on you for spotting it. I too get a big thrill from locating subjects, be it birds or mammals.
