day off, birding morning on our other farm

We have another farm in the mountains of Boquete, beautiful area. It was all pasture , but we let this 27 hectare alone for almost 18 years. A lot of farmers are thinking that  we are crazy.
There are now a lot of Oak trees back and there are a lot of animals and birds. They can hide very good, totally fantastic for me ...I love to look for the birds in dense area's ..I love surprises. So I did wait and was quiet and enjoyed myself very much.
Nearby there are some pastures, some with cows but also wild pastures, which give nice birds too.
It was sun, clouds, not too hot , no wind.
