Mot Not

From the bus back from the salt water pools we had a little way to walk to reach the main road into town. During the walk we spotted a very unusual, very exotic bird on the other side of the road. We stopped to take a photo fearing that crossing the road would scare it off, however just as we were looking at it we heard a loud horn to our left and turned to see a large truck veering off the road towards us, luckily we were far enough out the way but the one photo of the bird is very blurred and the commotion scared it off. I now believe it was an turquoise-browed Motmot. So cool and worth looking up on the internet to see what it really looks like, but not worth getting run over for. Really hope we see another one but here's the terrible photo just for fun.
