BROWN BOOBY






And here it is the last picture from Tobago and the bird of the trip for me, was it worth the two and a half grand, i think so. Stunning views from a rocking boat. Would i ever go back to Tobago, NO, hated every minute of the place, complete rip of, food, drink, Guides and Taxis, Birding though is stunning just dont take the wife if she's not into birding.

WHITE TAILED NIGHTJAR




We searched for this bird everywere with no luck, then as we walked up the track on Little Tobago there it was sat in the open over footpath, amazing, sometimes birdings purley luck, right time right place.
