Mountain Whitch sighted at Hollywell on a Excursion from Lime Tree Farm

Jamaican birdwatching in the summertime is not quite up to the proliferation of Birds that are sighted in the spring, nevertheless, Doctorbirds(Red billed streamertails )are everywhere. In the early morning the cries of flocks of Yellow Billed parrots "going bush" to feed can be heard from LIme Tree Farm, as they return in the evening with full bellies they are even louder & can't be missed.

On a recent excursion to Hollywell National Park from Lime Tree Farm with some guests we spotted a "Mountain Whitch" – Crested Quail Dove. This bird with it's strange dancing walk is endemic to Jamaica & not seen everyday.

  • Best home-style Jamaican Food

    "At Lime Tree Farm I ate some of the best home-style Jamaican food I have ever tasted: traditional breakfasts of breadfruit and fresh ackee - which you can only get in tins in the UK - spicy callaloo soup, fried fresh fish and desserts of mango or faultless, sticky coconut macaroons."
