So here's a map. How would you get from Grenada to St Lucia? Not this way? Well, thanks to the great minds at InterCaribbean Airways, this is how we did it.
Oddly, it wasn't that painful, probably because we didn't have to endure immigration, except at Castries in St Lucia. St Lucia, notoriously, will sell you citizenship and a diplomatic passprt for $75,000, so they're not that picky. We were there in time for lunch. And beer. Petra's café, on the beachfront, had both.
Then it was off, in a van, to the central dry region of northern St Lucia. First the drive..., and then the hike (it's the little red track).
The St Lucia warbler didn't make it easy, but eventually it came out, and I got some good shots.
You can see it's related to, but not identical with, the Barbuda warbler. They're probably either relic species, or regular warblers that just give up the migration thang. Also, here's an Antillean Crested Hummingbird.
After prying Ryan away from the area with some difficulty, we drove back to our 'mini-hotel', the Tropical Paradise, in Au Tabor, Anse La Raye, which was really quite lovely, not least for the view.
