Antigua Winter escape

Last week we were in Antigua escaping some cold temperatures here, tried fly fishing for Tarpon on and off all week with no luck.
This is  Coco bay lagoon apart from the Tarpon in it, the birdlife was pretty good.
Lesser Yellowlegs were fairly common and a few Spotted Sandpipers proved flighty. A trip to Nelsons Dockyard was very interesting and enjoyable for Caz and I .
Mean while back at the lagoon Wilsons plover obliged with a pair of White cheeked Pintail.
The land birds included the striking Grey Kingbird a sort of large shrike which posed nicely.
Lots more but finally managed to photograph Yellow crowned Night Heron on the last day.
