Reddish egret at San Pedro, Hato

At first it was difficult to find the egret. It was searching for food in the little pools of water left by high waves.

 Then we noticed the movements

When a wave splashed into the rocks it made the egret very visible.

Finally, it took of.

Warawaras at San Pedro

Following (just for a little bit) the dare devils of our Hiking Curaçao group, we noticed a bunch of Warawaras. Flying to and fro. They were probably trying to find food for the young ones waiting on bare branches of Wabi trees.

Manzanilla tree. Warning!

Leaves and apples are poisonous. Also, while wet or dripping (from rain) do not walk under the Manzanilla trees; not good for your skin.
Bladeren en de appeltjes van de Manzanillaboom zijn giftig. Wandel niet onder de bomen als het regent. druppels van de bladeren kunnen al pijnlijke vlekken op de huid veroorzaken.
