	Lesser Antilles
		The Lesser Antilles consist of hundreds of tiny islands, islets and cays found primarily along the eastern rim of the Caribbean.
		The Lesser Antilles begin east and south of the Virgin Islands and are composed of a double arc of small islands.
		The Lesser Antilles have experienced a common demographic history: decimation of the Amerindian population by the Spanish led to the introduction of African slaves to cultivate the sugar and coffee plantations of the European settlers during the 17th and 18th centuries.

		A large percentage of the Lesser Antilles islands is also made of accumulated coral skeleton of living sea communities that are still building their habitat.
		The lesser Antilles have a geologic uniformity which can help simplify their study.

	Antilles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Antilles (the same in French; Antillas in Spanish; Antillen in Dutch) refers to the islands forming the greater part of the West Indies in the Caribbean.
		The Antilles are divided into two major groups: the "Greater Antilles" to the north including the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico; and the smaller "Lesser Antilles" on the southeast — comprising the northerly Leeward Islands, the southeasterly Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles just north of Venezuela.
		The Greater Antilles are made up of continental rock, as distinct from the Lesser Antilles, which are mostly young volcanic or coral islands.

		Lesser Antillean music is part of the broader category of Caribbean music; much of the folk and popular music is also a part of the Afro-American musical tradition, being a mixture of African, European and indigenous American elements.
		The Lesser Antilles is also home to a strong Indo-Caribbean population base; though Indo-Caribbean music is found elsewhere in the Caribbean, the prominence of Indian-influenced styles is a hallmark of Antillean music scenes.

		The Lesser Antilles form a chain of small intriguing islands of the West Indes, geographically separating the Atlantic Ocean in the east from the Caribbean Sea in the west and South America to the south.
		If we are particularly fortunate, then we will have the afternoon to wile away at our resort, or perhaps go snorkelling to view the exquisite marine life that occurs close by some of the islands, or perhaps take in some of the cultural and historical attractions of these islands.
		Lesser Antillean Swift and Lesser Antillean Flycatcher also occur in the forest reserve, as does Forest Thrush, Red-legged Thrush, Rufous-throated Solitaire and the delightful Plumbeous Warbler.

		Certainly that was the case for me when I first saw the island of Antigua, longer ago than I care to remember.
		In fact, like many before me and since, I decided to put my career on hold, sail down to the island, and cruise the Lesser Antilles.
		A few months ago I had the opportunity (detailed in the July issue of this magazine) to sail among the Caribbean islands once again, this time on the square-rigged cruise ship Royal Clipper.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Lesser Antilles
		The destination was also something of a compromise dictated by self-imposed factors such as limiting the length of international flights, being in a non-malaria area and a suitably warm climate to escape from the northern winter.
		In addition to single island endemics a further fourteen species are endemic to the Lesser Antilles and it is possible to see them all on the islands we visited.
		As in most island groups some species in the Lesser Antilles are widely distributed across a number of islands but are represented on each island by different sub species.

		We had an afternoon (visiting southern Dominica) and a full day with Bertrand, the latter spent primarily on the Syndicate Estates nature trail and parrot lookouts.
		We had heard parrots from time to time along the way, but here we saw a number of ST. VINCENT PARROTS, flying in pairs and threes from time to time, providing pretty good looks although we never managed to see a close perched one.
		I'll close here - our final evening in Puerto Rico was rained out but we had a pleasant if short and drizzly morning's birding in Luquillo Forest before catching the plane home.
