Seven Wonders - Fleetwood Mac (Continued)

 We had to re-enter and clip the south-western corner of Honduras to reach Nicaragua, while in so doing we added

VIOLET SABREWING
to the World and ever extending Trip List, and with the Rotund One still in Maitre D' Hotel mode we were once again ensconced in
clean, comfortable and inexpensive accommodation.
We were begining to wonder if there were any 'below standard' such B&B's across the length of
Central America?
BLACK-CHEEKED WOODPECKER
was yet another addition the next morning hammering away at what we could only describe as a Palm and setting out for the now almost mandatory
Market Place
along with the associate sights, smell, colours and all else,
and while patroling the tide-line found numerous scavenging
NICARAGUAN GRACKLE
plus Porcine and good old
Suchitoto Thelma having thought we had left El Salvador behind?
While at elevation, and looking down on the Watershed we found the secretive
HIGHLAND TINAMOU
along with a stunning
KEEL-BILLED TOUCAN
leading us to think it might be time for a pint of
GUINNESS
although their mascot is a
TOCO TOUCAN
only found in South America and already firmly on the
World List!
Although being almost 'Templed Out' it would have been sacrilege to have overlooked the
UNESCO Heritage Site of LEON VIEJO
and attendant Birds such as
BAY WREN

RUDDY-CAPPED NIGHTINGALE THRUSH
and
RED-LORED AMAZON PARROT
while on the banks of
Lake Managua
our final encounter became
RUFOUS-TAILED JACAMA
