I had a few longer walks around the island (Cayo Guillermo) and also had two days more intensive birding with two different guides. The first worked as a guide at the Baga Natural Park (El Baga Parque Natural) on Cayo Coco. Baga has various Cuban Animals in enclosures like Crocodiles, Iguana and the Cuban Beavers. It also has extensive forested and mangrove areas. Tour guide Sandor Wart who was excellent fun and knowledgeable gave us the initial tourists tour around the park. We found out from him about a more specific birding tour that was available from another guide at the park, called Oday. We met him early the next day, and he was very friendly and knowledgable. I'd suggest asking at the park reception for the bird watching tour which is actually cheaper than the tourist tour, we gave him what we had saved as a tip. He was very successful at attracting various species including Cuban Tody, with a combination of pishing and recordings.
