Observation only from a managed refuge. No feeding or baiting; the site exists specifically to stop shorebirds being shot. Do not enter unaccompanied.
Christ Church (south east), Barbados
A former SHOOTING SWAMP converted in 2009 into the island's first shorebird refuge, now managed as habitat for migrating shorebirds and the only known breeding site for night herons in Barbados.
The strongest conservation story on the island: land taken out of shorebird hunting and rehabilitated for the birds it used to kill. Created by BirdLife International, the Barbados National Trust and local environmentalists.
