A birding trip to Antigua, Dominica, St Lucia, St Vincent and Barbados

Neil.Money-CASE@btinternet.com

INTRODUCTION

The timing of this trip was dictated by considerations other than birding, so our visit was not made at the optimum time for birding in the Lesser Antilles. This is probably in March and April when the presence of breeding seabirds and the possibility of neotropical migrants should greatly enhance the number of species to be found.

The destination was also something of a compromise dictated by self-imposed factors such as limiting the length of international flights, being in a non-malaria area and a suitably warm climate to escape from the northern winter. The Lesser Antilles met all our criteria and offered the challenge of finding single island endemics and regional endemics.

Our previous experience of Caribbean avifauna was limited to Barbados and Tobago. We had also birded in Trinidad which falls within the South American avifaunal zone, but which has some species and genera in common with the Caribbean.

We were able to purchase an 'open jaws' ticket from British Airways which allowed us to fly from London to Antigua and return to London from Barbados. This enabled us to island hop between Antigua and Barbados using the schedule operated by LIAT (Leeward Islands Air Transport).

Antigua has no endemics of its own and there are no Caribbean endemics found there that cannot be found on the other Lesser Antilles, so we decided to limit our stay there to two nights. We decided that we would write off, for birding purposes, each day that we travelled between two islands and, in most cases, this proved to be a wise precaution. Also, we wished to spend a few days at the end of the holiday in Barbados. These constraints meant that if we allowed two clear days birding on each island visited then we could visit three islands in addition to Antigua and Barbados. As time was limited we chose three Commonwealth countries, Dominica, St Lucia and St Vincent, because of the common English language, shared currency and cultural similarities.

POLITICAL BACKGROUND

All five islands visited are independent states within the Commonwealth and have their own laws and regulations. The practical effect of this is that visitors must pass through each country's immigration and customs formalities on arrival and they must be aware of possible differences in such matters as driving regulations. On leaving each island a departure tax is levied which must be paid in cash and varies in amount from country to country.

Antigua, Dominica, St Lucia and St Vincent share a common currency, the East Caribbean Dollar, while Barbados has its own currency, the Barbados Dollar. In all five countries US dollars are widely accepted and in many cases prices are quoted in local currency and US dollars.

In Antigua and Barbados major credit cards are widely accepted. However, in Dominica and St Lucia we experienced difficulty in using credit cards in some places (including hotels) away from the main centres. It is a well to asked at hotels when checking in whether or not they will accept payment by credit card and to carry a supply of cash or travellers cheques as a back up.

LOGISTICS, TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION

FLIGHTS

We booked internal flights in the UK and the 'open jaws' flights between London and Antigua returning via Barbados with British Airways through their website at www.ba.com.

For inter island flights in the Caribbean we used Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT). Their web site at www.liatairline.com gives details of their schedules and price structure. Bookings cannot be made through the LIAT website so I e-mailed my requirements to their office in Antigua at reservations@liatairline.com.  They confirmed the availability of flights and I arranged to collect and pay for the tickets on my arrival in Antigua.

The arrangements worked well except that instead of issuing us with tickets on the direct early morning flight from Dominica to St Lucia they routed us back through Antigua with a two hour lay over. This effectively cost us a day that could have been spent more constructively.

When booking flights to Dominica and St Lucia it is as well to remember that both islands have two airports in different parts of the island. Careful planning is required to ensure that one does not waste time and money on expensive taxis fares by using an airport distant from booked accommodation.

Cynics say that LIAT stands for Luggage In Another Territory and we came close to proving them right. Sitting on the plane for Dominica just prior to take off we looked out of the window to see the luggage trolley returning to the terminal with our cases clearly visible! In the event LIAT delivered the cases on a later flight but to the other airport. This cost us time that could have been spent birding.

The same cynics say that LIAT also stands for Leave Island Any Time, however, all our flights left promptly and there were no delays in published schedule times. The service we received was excellent, especially in St Lucia when we turned up at the wrong airport! The staff rescheduled our flights at very short notice and with the minimum of hassle.

ANTIGUA

On Antigua we stayed at Lashings Beach Hotel at Runaway Bay (www.lashings.com) about twenty minutes drive from the airport. Although not very central it was close to one birding site, MacKinnon's Salt Pond, and as Antigua is a small island and easy to get around by car, the location caused no inconvenience.

We booked car rental in advance with Hertz through their excellent website at www.hertz.com and collected the car at the airport. It is necessary to purchase a temporary driving licence at a cost of US$20. Hertz undertook the formalities and they issued the licence.

DOMINICA

To arrange accommodation and a bird guide we used Nature Island Destinations through their website at www.natureisland.com. They gave an excellent service.

As we expected to leave on an early morning flight from Melville Hall airport we elected to stay at the Floral Gardens Hotel in Concord, which is only a short drive from Melville Hall. This was a mistake as it is too far from the main Imperial Parrot sites. I recommend finding accommodation in the Portsmouth area.

Our very good guide for two days was Bertrand Baptiste who can be contacted in advance either through Nature Island Destinations or by e-mail at drbirdy2@cwdom.dm. Bertrand works full time for the Forestry Department so may be available only at weekends so it essential that you contact him well in advance if you wish to use his services during the working week.

We took a taxi from Canefield Airport and can strongly recommend the services of Daniel Didier (e-mail didierstours@yahoo.com) who was helpful in the extreme. He offers full day and half day tours of the island.

ST LUCIA

Apart from White-breasted Thrasher which is rare in St Lucia and reportedly easier to see in Martinique, and Rufous Nightjar, most of the target species in St Lucia can be found in the Edmund Forest Reserve in the south of the island. Soufriere is the ideal location for this reserve.

We stayed at Talk-to-me Cool Spot, run by Michael and Andrea Abraham, situated on the north side of the town with spectacular views over the town and Petit Piton and excellent food. Michael arranged transport to the Edmund Forest Reserve. The e-mail address is anbrham@hotmail.com

The St Lucia Tourist Board's web site is at www.stlucia.org

ST VINCENT

The St Vincent endemics can be found in the Vermont Forest Reserve which is easily accessed from Kingstown, which is also close to the airport. We stayed at the New Haddon Hotel in walking distance of the centre of town. The web site address is www.newhaddonhotel.com.

BARBADOS

Apart from being our gateway for the return flight to London, we wished to spend a few days in Barbados birding and relaxing. We stayed in St Lawrence at the Dover Beach Hotel, the hotel we used last year. The web site address is www.doverbeach.com. It is within walking distance of Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary (www.barbadosbirds.com) a developing wetland site that is probably the only place in the world where one can be guaranteed to see Little Egret and Snowy Egret side by side as they both breed in the Sanctuary.

Barbados has an excellent and cheap public transport system, with bus fares set at B$1.50 for any distance travelled. There are three types of buses: large sized government operated public buses painted blue, intermediate sized private buses painted yellow and private minibuses painted white. The exact fare is required on government buses but the others give change.

SINGLE ISLAND, LESSER ANTILLEAN AND CARIBBEAN ENDEMIC SPECIES

SINGLE ISLAND ENDEMICS

ANTIGUA AND BARBADOS

Neither Antigua nor Barbados supports single island endemics, although since the split of Adelaide's Warbler, Antigua's neighbouring island of Barbuda now supports the Barbuda Warbler. It may be possible to arrange a day trip to Barbuda from Antigua, but this would involve flying and arranging transport on Barbuda so it could be an expensive day out.

DOMINICA

Red-necked Parrot 
Imperial Parrot

ST LUCIA

St Lucia Parrot
St Lucia Pewee
Semper's Warbler  (possibly extinct)   
St Lucia Warbler   
St Lucia Black Finch (very rare)
St Lucia Oriole   

ST VINCENT

St Vincent Parrot
Whistling Warbler

LESSER ANTILLEAN ENDEMICS

In addition to single island endemics a further fourteen species are endemic to the Lesser Antilles and it is possible to see them all on the islands we visited.

Lesser Antillean Swift
Purple-throated Carib
Blue-headed Hummingbird
Grenada Flycatcher
Lesser Antillean Flycatcher
White-breasted Thrasher
Brown Trembler
Grey Trembler
Scaly-breasted Thrasher
Forest Thrush
Plumbeous Warbler
Lesser Antillean Tanager
Lesser Antillean Bullfinch
Lesser Antillean Saltator

CARIBBEAN ENDEMICS

In addition to those species listed above a further 8 species occur in the Lesser Antilles that are more widely distributed but still endemic to the Caribbean.

West Indian Whistling-Duck
Bridled Quail-Dove
Green-throated Carib
Antillean Crested Hummingbird
Lesser Antillean Pewee
Rufous-throated Solitaire
Red-legged Thrush
Antillean Euphonia

SUB SPECIES

As in most island groups some species in the Lesser Antilles are widely distributed across a number of islands but are represented on each island by different sub species. In some cases, as with the all black Bananaquit on St Vincent, there are marked plumage differences.

Although a particular species may not be endangered or threatened a sub species may well be. For example, the Barbadian sub species of Yellow Warbler, which is threatened by habitat loss and brood parasitism by Shiny Cowbird.

Where possible in the species list I have designated sub species seen.

SCHEDULE

4th January 2003
We flew from London Gatwick to St Johns Antigua with British Airways having flown down from Inverness the previous evening. We had stayed overnight at the Meridien at Gatwick, not cheap but very convenient. The web site is at www.lemeridien-hotels.com. We were a couple of hours late leaving because of de-icing problems on a lot of the aircraft parked at Gatwick. We collected the hire car at the airport in Antigua and drove to the hotel.

5th January 2003
ANTIGUA
Spent the day touring the island birding at MacKinnon's Salt Pond, Potswork Dam, Bathesda, English Harbour, Fig Tree Road, Darkwood Bay. We also took in the tourist spots around English Harbour and Shirley Heights.

6th January 2003
ANTIGUA
Early morning visit to MacKinnon's Salt Pond and then to the airport for the flight to Dominica, which touched down in Guadeloupe on the way.

DOMINICA
We arrived at Canefield Airport and were advised that our bags would be delivered later in the day to Melville Hall Airport. Fortunately we were staying close to that airport so the inconvenience was not as great as it may have been. Even so any time we had hoped to have for birding in the late afternoon was lost.

7th January 2003
DOMINICA
Collected by our guide Bertrand Baptiste and spent the day birding the east of the island south of Concord, visiting Bataka and then along Horse Riding Ridge, south to Castle Bruce, then southeast and then east to Rosalie. Return to Pont Casse then to Concord via Bells
