Some recent Birdwatching guests at Lime Tree Farm, the Whittingham's, did a 3 day programme of Birding Tours, Cinchona, Abbey Green & Hardwar Gap all good locations for seeing birds endemic to Jamaica.

Despite a cold front moving down from the North Amereican mainland which tended to keep the birds away we were still able to see various endemics which included the endangered Ring Tailed Pigeon(see picture). It is also interesting to see that there was no shortage of the Red Billed Streamertails another endemic which also happens to be the Jamaican National Bird. These spectacular & hardy little hummingbirds can be found almost anywhere in Jamaica from sea level to Blue Mountain Peak – I know of no other bird in Jamaica that can be found at all altitudes.
