Out at 6.15 this morning to search for wildlife along the canals of Tortuguero National Park
We saw Howler Monkeys, Toucans, Sloths and a few other creatures. I didn't manage to get any decent pictures but on our way back we saw a troop of Spider monkeys swinging through the trees. They had to get from one side of a narrow canal to the other by way of this flimsy palm frond. First up were adults, including mothers with babies. They were across the gap in a shot and my pictures were hopeless. This juvenile took it a bit more cautiously so I got a nice silhouette, which I've sharpened up in Silver Efex.
We are back out this afternoon so I'm hopeful of getting something else.
