Day 2 - Nature and birding on Little Tobago
Begin the day gliding over the coral gardens of Tyrrel’s Bay en route to Little Tobago and a morning amidst the scenic glories of this rugged isle. On this island, which has been a nature sanctuary since 1926, the Greater Bird of Paradise was introduced by Sir William Ingram who brought them from New Guinea in 1919 to save them from extinction by poaching. On Sir William's death the family gave the island to the country on condition that it remains a sanctuary for all time. In 1963 a devastating hurricane (Hurricane Flora) struck and all the Birds of Paradise were lost. The island has its own native birds (45 species) of beauty and interest including many mainland species - however the real attractions are the breeding seabird colonies such as the Boobies, Terns, Magnificent Frigate Birds and the wonderful Red-billed Tropicbirds .... birds of unsurpassed gracefulness and beauty, just seeing them makes this tour worthwhile. The tour includes a 20 minute boat ride from the main shore (departing from Speyside village). After arrival at the sanctuary there is a walk across the island for about 500 metres through virgin seasonal deciduous forest - itself a fascinating experience. The tour proceeds to the lookout point for viewing the seabird colonies and in particular the unbelievably graceful "tropicbirds" a sight never to be forgotten. On the way back to the mainland, excellent snorkelling opportunities abound (B) Blue Waters Inn
