Jamaica March 28th - April 4th 
- This tour to Jamaica was the first by Birdwatching Breaks and was an immediate success for the company recording all the endemic species (28) including the scarce Jamaican Blackbird and the beautiful Crested Quail-dove. The tour covered all the important bird areas of this unique island situated on the western extremity of the West Indies. In addition to these areas visits were made to a selection of wetlands and lagoons for migrant waders and ducks....Mark Finn Reports for Birdwatching Breaks
Jamaica April 1 - 8, 2008
- We hade an early start to reach the Cockpit Country, an hour east of Marshall’s Pen by dawn. The targets here were the two endemic parrots. While walking along the road, we were able to get scope views of both the Black-billed and the more common Yellow-billed Parrots....Gary and Marlene Babic report.

Jamaican Mango and Loggerhead Kingbirdthere, and also added Antillean Palm
Swift...Alex Kirschel reports.
Jamaica 1st
- 9th September 2000
- Jamaica is not a destination for anyone expecting to
amass a large trip total - a trip list of 100+ would be a good score for a
one-week trip. However, what it may lack in quantity, it more than makes
up for in quality. The island boasts an extremely impressive total of 30
endemic species, all highly possible on such a short visit...Gruff Dodd
reports
Jamaica Winter
1998
- Gazing at our atlas during cold winter nights we would
dream of classic journeys to tropical countries with immaculate sandy beaches
lapped by deep-blue waters and fringed by waving coconut palms. To escape
the brutal Canadian winter we would pore through our field guides dreaming
of the hundreds of species we had yet to see....Keith Taylor reports
Jamaica 8th July 1996
- 22nd July 1996
- Out at 5.30am flushing a Barn Owl out of the barn. Headed
straight to the hillside spending nearly 3 hours creeping around in the forest
fruitlessly searching for the Crested Quail Dove. However did see 4 Ruddy
Quail Doves.... David Cooper reports.
