Rumpolephoreskin's Existential Wanderings in and Around Negril

[Crusher]

That's one of the coolest things I have seen on here. What a great experience!

[Lady Jane]

Terrific! Loving all of this. I have had chickadees land on my palm to eat seeds but NEVER fed a Humming Bird before. Looks so cool

Thanks for posting about Rockland and for including such wonderful pics! I've not heard of it before so it's now on the to do list.

Wow Rum! Now I have a bit of a dilemma. I've been planning on just one road trip this reach and was really settled on Mayberry Falls but the bird sanctuary looks amazing. Hummingbirds landing on your hand?!? That's incredible and probably a pretty romantic experience and memory as well I'm pretty sure we'll end up at the falls - Daisy, Markus and Jamar's descriptions and photos were amazing, but this does present a bit of a quandry. The lady loves birds... and waterfalls...

I have thought about going to the bird sancturay before but this certainly clinches it for me. Next reach we will be going there for sure. Looks amazing!
Thanks Rum....

Lady Jane,
I've had a chickadee do that too.
It's the same with a hummingbird (they're just more exotic), but the thrill is the same.

Guirigay,
Bring your Binocs to the falls, I'm sure you'll get some quality bird watching in.

Great pix Rum. A caution to anyone wanting to visit the Bird Sanctuary, they keep unusual hours. Twice we have attempted to go but the opening/Closing times thwarted us.

Respect,

I'm glad so many people are contemplating Rocklands.
It was absolutely our best planned activity.

My favorite thing is being in the water, but on land Rocklands was special.

If you plan a trip there make sure there are no cruise ships in Mo-bay on the day you're going.
I think Alfred told us cruise ships are not in Mo-bay on Mondays and that's how we planned our trip.
I'm not sure that's a constant rule though, so it is worth checking.
You could easily loose the quality of the experience if you were mobbed.
Also get there as early as possible - always better for birding.

Binoculars! totally slipped my mind, now on the packing list.
