In the mangroves

We took an early-morning panga tour of the nearby mangrove estuary, where we saw an amazing array of birds, including about five different kinds of heron, ibises, storks and cormorants. Ricardo, our tour guide, was really knowledgeable and had a keen eye.
The birds were amazing, but the highlight of the trip was the crocs!! We stopped at a crocodile 'farm' where we could get a really close look at some big ones, but also saw 12-15 of varying sizes in the wild.
This guy didn't mind the panga getting close, we even splashed him with our wash and he didn't even twitch.
