And on the back of the news that an osprey has flown 4,124 miles from Scotland to the Caribbean, we’re all flocking to Barbados.
And I’d be hot on her tail.
The bird of prey, which was tagged last summer in Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park in Renfrewshire, was spotted in Barbados earlier this month.
The Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation said it covered 4,124 miles during its epic journey from Lochwinnoch.
It was spotted by conservationist Michael St John who photographed a female with a blue ring on its left leg.
At Bawdens Irrigation Pond in the north of Barbados in the Caribbean.
With the ring number clearly visible – KW0, which indicated it was a bird from Scotland.
Watch the birdie
Now Barbados, of course, is the home of rum, Soca music, the Crop Over carnival and Rihanna .
And even has its own Scotland region and culture.
But for those who prefer more sedate pastimes then Barbados boasts stunning nature, exotic wildlife and beautiful bird-watching opportunities too.
Barbados bills (sorry) itself as an ideal bird-watching country with its small size perfect.
With birding sites not difficult to access, thus lending itself well to day trips and tours which can also be combined with trips to our magical beaches.
Villa collection
Timely then that our friends at Villa Collection are teasing us with their Easter villa offerings which they will share with you on their site.
