While hunting for scarlet macaws, we came across this jaguar print in the mud. Here is Imogen sizing up the paw.

Heading out to sea!

We hopped a boat to explore the Belize Barrier Reef – the second largest reef system in the world – and to get this close-up of a magnificent frigatebird.

Frigatebirds are the pirates of the sky. Unable to get their feathers wet, they can’t fish themselves, so they let other birds catch a meal and then harry them until they drop it.
BE72
Double-crested cormorant
BE73
A baby frigatebird, probably just days old.
