However, new populations were discovered at suitable altitudes in forests in the north. Thanks to the work and considerable sacrifice of the likes of Scriber our superb guide while on the island, the population is being monitored and the researched.
With Scriber's excellent help we encountered several birds in a few family parties relatively easily in the Centre Hills, and we even found a male feeding young which Scriber didn't previously know about.
These are my best efforts at DSLR shots of the birds (please forgive them, the light is poor in the forest...)

Great shots. On our last day in Montserrat we went looking for the birds but couldn't find the path! The locals didn't recommend trailblazing on our own so we never saw them.
Oh well next time I hope.
