Bare-throated Tiger Heron
I spotted this Bare-throated Tiger Heron (Tigrisoma mexicanum) wading through the stream that ran through our hotel in Puerto Jimenez. Taken on my recent holiday to Costa Rica over Christmas 2022.

Geologist, educator, photographer, first aider, leathercrafter… I am a person of diverse interests and expertise.
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg–Universität Mainz. My research focusses on the tectonics of subduction zones and understanding how the physical heterogeneity the plate boundary interface influences the wider-scale tectonics and hazards. I also love to teach and am interested in innovative and engaging methods of teaching earth sciences, both in the classroom and in the field.
I am also a hobbyist nature photographer and my images highlight the hidden wonder and diversity of our natural world. In my remaining time, I volunteer as an Advanced First Aider for St John Ambulance and am a hobbyist leathercrafter.
