February 25, 2020
Hoewel vorige week dinsdag en woensdag relatief leeg waren, oftewel vol met niets doen, hebben we best veel gedaan, de afgelopen week. … More Week 6. Surfen, op weg en vogels kijken
Learning how to surf
February 21, 2020
For a long time, I thought that I did not like water sports. Until I met Cristina and found out about the pleasures of snorkeling around the islands of San Blas (Panama), scuba diving in Nosy Bé (Madagascar), or snorkeling and scuba diving in the Mediterranean sea. Three totally different places with one thing in … More Learning how to surf
Week 5. Vogels kijken
February 18, 2020
Op de een of andere manier leek deze week veel sneller te zijn gegaan dan de vorige. We hebben weer een hele hoop niets gedaan. Dat wil zeggen we hebben veel thuis gezeten en avonturen beleefd met een slang en een hond. In de categorie iets doen, is de luie vogelaar uit zijn stoel gekomen en hebben we een dag vogels gekeken aan de rand van nationaal park Palo Verde. … More Week 5. Vogels kijken
Death is a part of wildlife too
February 16, 2020
This morning, some vultures started circling low around the open patch next to our house. Something was going on. This is a sad story about the violent death of a dog. Not a fun story. … More Death is a part of wildlife too
When ‘doing nothing’ is frustrating
February 13, 2020
Earlier, we settled for an understanding of ‘doing nothing’ of not having to do anything that is somehow externally forced upon us. Now that I am writing this, I finally realize that we ended up in the ironic and frustrating situation where ‘doing nothing’ is actually forced upon us. … More When ‘doing nothing’ is frustrating
White-throated Magpie Jay – Cyanolyca cucullata
February 12, 2020
We have been seeing and hearing this bird since day one. It is big, noisy and travels in groups of two or three. They seem to be chasing each other all the time. It might be playing, it might be serious business. … More White-throated Magpie Jay – Cyanolyca cucullata
Our birdwatching gear. Part 4 : Smartphone and clip-on
February 12, 2020
Only when I started writing these posts about our bird-watching gear, I realized that our smartphones are definitely part of it. Because we never leave the house without the smartphone, it is the natural last resort to take a picture of a bird. But it is also useful to make sound recordings and, together with a so-called clip-on, it can be used to make pictures through binoculars or telescopes … More Our birdwatching gear. Part 4 : Smartphone and clip-on
Week 4. Strand en een excursie naar de Rio Celeste
February 11, 2020
Het is wéér mislukt om een week niks te doen. Niets ernstigs dit keer. We wilden graag natuurreservaten in de omgeving bekijken tijdens onze maand hier, dus het werd tijd om daaraan te beginnen. Afgelopen zondag en maandag zijn we naar het nationale park van de Tenorio Vulkaan (Parque National Volcán Tenorio) gegaan. … More Week 4. Strand en een excursie naar de Rio Celeste
Our birdwatching gear. Part 3 : Celestron Ultima 80 telescope
February 11, 2020
Our purchase of the telescope was a bit of a haste job. Because scopes do not come cheap, virtually all birdwatchers that we know or met or read on-line, advise buying a second-hand scope if you are a beginner. We followed the Swedish go-to second-hand website (called blocket.se) for a while but nothing in our price range showed up. … More Our birdwatching gear. Part 3 : Celestron Ultima 80 telescope
