Regular visitors to the wall opposite…

Before posting the photos of this small, non-exhaustive inventory, it is necessary to explain a little about the topography of the site…
This wall, in question, is none other than a part of the remains of a fort dating from the time of the Spanish conquistadors. On the lintel of the entrance door, a somewhat damaged coat of arms has survived, still bearing a date: 1758.

Bay of Portobelo Panama
The wall opposite, in the morning

On the west side, the fort defends one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean Sea, Portobelo, discovered and named by Christopher Columbus in 1502. To the east, it is surrounded by a small stream, which also borders our garden.
So, given its location, this wall offers a beautiful perch, appreciated by wetland birds, seabirds and others.
Some days, it’s a festival…
