Dag 25: P237, Saint Lucia

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

Today I went to Cape Vidal park with Natascha. Cape Vidal is the Big 5 park above St Lucia. The coast has dunes, a forest, then a wet area and then it is normal savannah again. But from the road it looks like a different area, with different birds and the same Big 5 animals. We end the day with bird guide Ian Ferrera, who shows me birds in a wet area for 2.5 hours. If I come this way again, I would like to explore the entire area around St Lucia with him.
