Exhausted by our 10-line day airport adventures, I slept, notwithstanding my sunburned face. woke up, and had breakfast, at our very nice but bossy-staffed Bridgetown hotel, and then a walk on the beach, eying the tiny translucent crabs but unable to get as picture of one. We weren't long in Barbados.
Early we were back to the airport and off to St Vincent. Short hop, small 'plane. We drove around the back of the airport, to a small creek flowing into the Caribbean. to eat a bag lunch.
The coastline was pretty, though the beach was trashy.
A spotted sandpiper was poking through the garbage on the beach. And here's a smooth-billed ani, looking like a tiny dinosaur.
...also saw Greater Yellowlegs, Magnificent Frigatebird, Little Blue Heron,Green Heron,Gray Kingbird, Caribbean Martin and Carib Grackle.
After lunch, we pushed on to the interior.
..where there were broadwing hawks, some drying themselves from the rain, and scaly-necked pigeons, and the St Vincent parrots, close enough to get lots of very poor shots.
And the odd black bananaquits.
Alos on this wing of the trip: Short-tailed Swift, Green-throated Carib, Antillean Crested Hummingbird, Little Blue Heron, Western Cattle Egret, Common Black Hawk, and Gray Kingbird.
...and back to a huge, run-lubricated meal at the Beachcombers hotel.
