From Palenque, we headed into the Yucatan Peninsula for a few days.
We stayed a while at Tulum, where we mainly got very drunk, but we did manage some birding in the scrub opposite our hostel.
Rose-throated Tanager (yucatan endemic)
White-eyed Vireo (my hot tip to turn up in Britain or Ireland sometime soon)
We also had a day out at the nearby Mayan ruins of Coba
Black-headed Trogon
Plain Chachalaca
Worm-eating Warbler
After rushing through the grim town of Playa-del-Carmen (think Costa Del Sol, but with the package holiday brits replaced by their american counterparts, yuk!!) we got the boat out to Cozumel Island, which was also very plasticky and crappy around the main town, but exploring the island, we found it be quite a nice spot, and we also caught up with some local endemics;
Cozumel Vireo
Yucatan Vireo
Cozumel Emerald
