Southern Lapwing: Calla de Gambia, Golfito, Costa Rica — On our way from Danta Corcovado Lodge to Las Cruces Biological Station we took a run up Calla de Gambia through a valley with extensive wet meadows and “living fences” leading to a lodge in the forest at the end. The wet meadows, in particular, were full of birds. There were many Southern Lapwings…but for some reason the only ones I could catch were always walking away. They seemed to sense the bus stopping and be already on the move by they time we piled out. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
