Seven Wonders - Fleetwood Mac Part VI

 There has been something of a Navigational Error during the production of this part of the series, not unusual for the once Vasco da Gama look-alike, but if not spotted the heart won't grieve! Although we encountered no incidents in El Salvador, knocking on the door of Honduras seemed a slightly less fraught experience as once again Rather Rotund William (a.k.a. Big Fat Billy) came up with the goods as far as the

HOTEL
was concerned but now with only one target in mind, amid punctuations of 'bird-life', which was the largest market place in the whole of Central America, that at

CHICHICASTENANGO

which is said to be, on the arrival of the Spanish Conquistador's, the very spot where

Christianity first met Paganism

Like House Sparrows in UK opportunist
SCARLET MACAWs

Little Children - Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas

RED-BILLED PIGEON

Time to move on as we could not 'mask' the fact that there was still much to see, starting with the

Mandatory Ruins of Copan

with attendant Birdlife

RUFOUS-NAPED WREN

STELLA STONE

GREY HAWK

CENTRAL COLLONADE

SWAINSON'S THRUSH

HEAD HONCHO
The main thrust behind taking the short flight to the

ROATÁN ISLANDS

was the chance of seeing maybe a small part of the second largest
Barrier Reef in the World
but before that there was just the small consideration of safety onboard the aircraft, there wasn't a singe seat belt that would fit around the girth of any of us, but they flew anyway!

The REEF, without images proved spectacular with 2 other encounters well worth a mention as meeting this small group of

YARDIES
who imediately shared their beer with us before getting down to some heavy conversation, a fabulous couple of hours during which time we added

RUFOUS-CAPPED WARBLER

RED-LORED PARROT
and

YELLOW-THROATED EUPHONIA
to the World List.
Deciding to stay the night proved to be a good move as sat on the patio at dusk what was estimated to have been in excess of 1,000

SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHERs

flew into roost in the garden bushes!
SOME PLACE - BUT TIME TO MOVE ON AGAIN!
