Scarborough is a city in Trinidad and Tobago on the southern coast of the island of Tobago. The lower Scarborough area is occupied by Scarborough market with vendors selling fresh produce and clothing. Close by are the indigenous trees and shrubs of Scarborough Botanical Gardens. On a hill overlooking the city the ruins of the 18th century Fort King George now house the Tobago Museum, with local arts and artefacts.
Once we were walking through the rainforest, we saw many different indigenous trees and heard a lot of birdsongs. Our guide identified everything we saw, but there was a lot to take in and I didn’t remember most of it by the time I came to record it.
There was a lot of birdsong and there were Bantam type chickens walking around. One hen even had two very young chicks. None of the plants were labelled which was a pity.
