| Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica |
We are birding in the shadow of Volcan Arenal. It looms over us at 1663m with its iconic conical shape and steep scree slopes.
It is what is known as a stratovolcano, which means a tall and symmetrical volcano built upon successive layers of rock, ash and lava.
It is partially active and when the clouds move off we could clearly see its emissions - a column of water vapour and gases.
Meanwhile, here at the Arenal Observatory Lodge we have been entertained by the antics of the White-nosed Coatis, relative of racoons, another tick on our mammal list.
