Broad-billed Motmot (Electron platyrhynchum), Arenal observatory lodge, Costa Rica. Fairly common throughout its range, Broad-billed Motmot inhabits humid forest in foothills and lowlands. This species generally stays in the mid levels of primary forests, often in relatively open areas. Most often encountered as singles or in pairs, birds sit quietly between sallying forays for insects and other small animals. Not globally threatened. Fairly common in some areas, but serious decline reported in W Ecuador, and other populations have undoubtedly decreased in areas suffering extensive deforestation. Brazilian population apparently rather locally distributed (Birds of the world).

Libellula depressa - Widespread and common throughout Wales and England, apart from in northern England. Broad-bodied Chaser has increased in occupancy steadily in England and Wales since the 1970s; is becoming more common in the north and can now be found in a few sites in south Scotland.

Broad-leaved Geebung Persoonia levis

Whilst these rollers are found in South Africa I've never seen them there so these two were a first for me. They were in the gardens of the hotel every morning along with the ubiquitous LBR's (Lilac Breasted Roller) who made a helluva racket chasing away the crows.

This was unfortunately the closest I could get to them and they never descended from the tree tops (at least whilst I was about).
