Bird Watching - Forres Park & Abbey Green

bird At Forres Park the upper verandah offers such an array of birds at daybreak that it is sometimes difficult to depart for the nearby trails - all three Hummingbird species can be seen - Vervain, Jamaica Mango and Streamertail - along with Orangequits, White-chinned Thrushes, Kingbirds, Flycatchers and numerous North American Warblers in their winter quarters.

Our mountain paths are ideal for serious mountain bikers and birdwatchers and we can plan tours for both groups. Arrangements are made with experienced guides from Birdlife Jamaica and other professional Birdwatchers to locate the 28 endemic and many of the 200 other Caribbean residents and migrant species.

Experienced birdwatchers may see some familiar species, endemic and otherwise, nest at Forres Park. Tours are priced with your personalized interest and prices vary according to your particular requests.

Mountain Sunrise

We can arrange your adventure to the Blue Mountain Peak. Climb to the peak, and at 5 a.m. experience a once-in-a-lifetime Jamaican sunrise.
