Birdwatching in Guadeloupe

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		Actually the checklist of the birds of Guadeloupe is 258 species, 74 are nesting, 1 is endemic (the Guadeloupe Woodpecker), 13 are endemic of the Lesser Antilles, 8 are non native but have self sustainable populations. Personnaly I lived in Guadeloupe for 10 years and observed 215 species (I found 30 new species for the island). I worked on the Petite-Terre Nature Reserve (a small off-shore island of only 150 hectares) for 7 years and this is a great place to find rare migrants during spring or like some European species (Corn Crake, House Martin, European Whimbrel, etc).
Professional Guides If you contact a professional Birdingpal guide you must be prepared to pay a fee for guiding services.
