No Woman, No Cry - Bob Marley and the Wailers (Finalè)

 It would seem, at first glance, that Charlie and Julie Anderson had invested their

 New Found Fame and Fortune
SCARLET MACAW
(by no means a)
SNAIL KITE

wisely into a home that was once accommodation for Senior Officers of United States Forces in the

suburbs of Panama City.
(conventional garden)
BURNISHED BUFF TANAGER
in a crescent of similarly designed houses.
WHOOPING MOTMOT
Unarguably the COOLEST place in the Country let alone the City from certain vantage points the
PANAMA CANAL
could still be seen and even a
DARCETA SPHINX HAWK-MOTH
A hearty welcome indoors - Charlie and Billy
RED-EYED GRASSHOPPER
Charlie (eager to show us his recording studio) and Moi
WATTLED JACANA
The Full Anderson Crew
COLLARED ARICARI
A bit of a 'sing-song' in the studio, just up my street,
SPOTTED TODY FLYCATCHER
afterwhich, a visit to his nextdoor neighbour whose hobbies included
nursing back to health sick and/or injured
HARPY EAGLES
(the largest Eagle on that continent and one of the largest in the World)
He told that he recieved an average of c3 each year, of these near threatened
and declining birds of prey, and when brought back to full health would present the survivour
to one country or another. This individual was detined for Coosta Rica.
STRAIGHT-BILLED WOODCREEPER
We had enjoyed one hell of a time, but the afternoon was getting long, and being dropped outside of an icecream parlour we of course 'did the honours' but the day was not over for me.
While Billy returned to the Guest House I wander further into town to pick up one or 2 things, but picked up one thing that could not have been imagined.
There stood in the middle of a very busy road was a lady trying to coax a
TREE-TOED SLOTH
back to the safety of the jungle.
With both of us reluctant to touch it we did manage to get it to cling to this 
crowbar and get it to the verge.
From there it did rather look as if it was trying to hitch a lift but,
with a little gentle pocking and proding was returned, hopefully to stay in its
Natural Habitat.
Hands up all of those who have had 3-toes Sloth 'in the hand'?
THE LAST of the RASTAS
