On our way back from our round the island trip, we had asked to be dropped at Darkwood Beach, which is backed by a large lagoon where we hoped to find water birds. We then walked back along the road to Cocobay. Our cabin lizard enjoyed banana and sugar, as did the Bananaquits. We saw the two species of Hummingbird on the island - the Green-Throated Carib and the Antillean Crested. We also found a butterfly roost close to Cocobay, where there were the tiny Miami Blues, no bigger than an adult fingernail. The crabs we think are Sally Lightfoots (Grapsis grapsis) and they blew bubbles and streams of water. The Black-Crowned Night Heron is exactly the same as the European Night Heron we saw in Mallorca. The Mongooses were very common around the resort and quite timid in the open.
