[Leica] Hyacinth Macaws and Caiman

[Douglas Barry]

What colourful birds, Jayanand. Never seen any of that type before. Maybe I 
should take my Brazilian fishmonger's advice and see the place.

The caiman and the catfish is a great shot. Disappointingly, my fishman 
doesn't sell catfish: I'll have to wait 'til I get to Brazil.
