[Leica] Hyacinth Macaws and Caiman

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

One of the places we stayed in, Hotel Porto Jofre had a huge number of palm
trees planted, and they were a magnet for Hyacinth Macaws. We would get up
in the morning with a symphonic cacophony orchestrated by Hyacinth Macaws
and Caracaras! The Hyacinth Macaws were very agile, and always raucously
squabbling, which made for interesting photography:

the Hotel Porto Jofre was on the banks of the Cuiaba River, the prime spot
for jaguar watching. One of the streams leading off the river was teeming
with caiman, so we promptly dubbed it "Caiman Alley". A couple of shots
from there:
