After an acceptable breakfast at the hotel, and a little birding (bananaquits, zenaida doves, cattle and great egret, white winged dove, house sparrow, green throated carib, Lesser Antillean bullfinch, black-whiskered vireo)...)we walked to the West Bus Station to catch the #17 bus down to English Harbor.
This is our-ill fated trail, which we couldn't complete because A Certain Person was nervous about the descent from the gun battery.
Still, nice views of Montserrat and Guadeloupe...
plus Turks Cap cacti.
...which have tiny flowers on their baldy parts...
and of Fort Berkeley.
After turning back, to celebrate defeat, we had a boozy lunch at Bumpkins',
and observed the bananaquit in its natural environment of the restaurant, sucking mayonnaise from a serving bottle.
and then back to the hotel, where we brided a bit, hoping to catch a prairie warbler. No luck.
