Anguilla

Common Ground Dove Columbina passerina ŠSteven Holt http://stockpix.com/stock/animals/birds/index.htm

You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

places to stay

Anguilla Hotel Guide

http://hotels.ai/
Anguilla has a wide range of hotels, resorts and guest houses, from five-star legends like Cap Juluca to charming local inns like Lloyd`s. And many vacation villas too. This service of the Anguilla Local News groups accommodations by price, based on the lowest double rate in the high season. Hotels also have specials and greatly reduced rates in the low season (April 15 to Dec 14); and prices do change over time. Be sure to visit the hotel`s web site and inquire about exact pricing.

Lloyd`s Guest House

http://lloyds.ai/
More like a Bed and Breakfast than a hotel. The rooms are spotless, but small...

A Field Guide to Anguilla`s Wetland

http://news.ai/ref/wetlands.html
A new book was published on June 5, 1998, with information about Anguilla`s ponds. This is a field guide, so there are maps, pictures of the bird species you may see, botanical notes of the flora, directions to find the many ponds, and room for you to make Field Notes and record your bird sightings.

Sombrero Island

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sombrero,_Anguilla
Welcome to the web-site of the Island of Sombrero. Sombrero is an offshore possession of the British colony of Anguilla, which lies in the Caribbean Sea. This little island is proposed to be a rocket-launch site for Beal Aerospace. We are concerned about these plans.
