Nariva Swamp is high on most birders’ lists to visit in Trinidad. I would have preferred to get here earlier but we arrived around 8am due to getting lost. We headed to the main birding spot – Kernahan Road. I was targeting parrots of course plus anyone else who flew by. Flying by at great speed was one pair of Red-bellied Macaws even before we turned off the main road to Kernahan Road but they disappeared before I could get a shot and I couldn’t find them again.
We didn’t see either the monkey or the macaw this time. Probably because we got there so late.
This is where I saw the Red-bellied Macaws fly overhead while we were driving.
Turn left here. Then just drive very slowly and keep your ears and eyes open!
