Jamaica

Hello

In February I was most fortunate to be able to visit the island of Jamaica in the West Indies with a view to seeing some of the endemic and near endemic birds of the island. During the eight days or so we managed to at least glimpse all of the 28 or so recognised endemic bird species and quite a number which are range restricted within the region. In addition I very much enjoyed trying to find and identify North American migrants wintering in Jamaica and simply enjoying the resident species too. I found photography particularly challenging but managed a few images of the more iconic species...

Regards
