We continued with the tour travelling up the North West coast of the island then turning east to travel up to the Main Ridge Forest.

It was obviously going to be harder to get pictures once on the forest trails but there were still some good birds to be seen from the road, including Rufous-tailed Jacamars, Trinidad Motmots, a Collard Trogon and a White-tailed Saberwing Hummingbird.

Unfortunately the Saberwing would not oblige by giving a front view.

We could hear a Blue-backed Manakin calling from the undergrowth but it was difficult to get a decent view. Eventually we spotted him and watched for a while as he practiced his courtship dance. He seemed to be on his own, so was probably practicing for his performance in front of the ladies at the lek.

Seeing some movement I spent a long time watching the next hole waiting for another Woodpecker to look out only to get a bit of a surprise.
