The end of a perfect Caribbean day, contemplating our return to the UK after a fabulous fortnight on Tobago 🇹🇹 resting, birding, rum-drinking & exploring

There are 6 Hummingbird species on #Tobago and 5 of them were new to me. I managed to get some short of shot of all of them. This species, White-tailed Sabrewing was the difficult one photographed at the rainforest edge.

One of my main targets on #tobago2025 was to see Blue-backed hopefully at a lek. However I only managed to see a single bird during the morning but managed a few images.

Another new hummingbird during #tobago2025 was this Black-throated Mango. I saw lots of them but photo ops were scarce.

I didn’t have as many photo opportunities to photograph hummingbirds in Tobago 🇹🇹 as I had in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 but still managed 6 new species including this beautiful Ruby Topaz at a feeder hanging from a beach bar

Two new species of hummingbird for me at this feeder with Copper-rumped Hummingbird & Rufous-breasted Hermit bit at a feeder outside a bar in Castara, Tobago

I have just had two weeks in the beautiful Caribbean island of Tobago. Green-rumped Parrotlet is very noisy and sometimes difficult to find this one showed well from my room in Castara.
