A Tropical Christmas

This year I decided to do something a little different for Christmas and help with some conservation work on the Osa peninsula Cost Rica. Instead of spending Christmas eve by the fire in Scotland, I was in the jungle looking for reptiles and amphibians and having close encounters with big cats (an ocelot!). This will be a Christmas I will always remember, and feel a sense of accomplishment having pushed myself far out of my comfort zone and done something valuable in the process.
