Touring with LaBete - Point-a-Pierre Wildfowl trust - Trinidad While sight-seeing with Manon and Gervais (LaBete) we stopped just north of San Fernando to visit the Point-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust which is located within the Petrotrin oil refinery grounds. The Wildfowl trust encompasses 60 acres, including 2 lakes which are used as reservoirs for the refineries fire and cooling systems. Started in l966 it houses a captive breeding program with birds such as anhinges (snake birds), scarlet ibis and peacocks. The lakes attract countless birds including the (tree sitting) black-bellied whistling ducks, common gallinule, wattled jacana, cocoi heron as well as many song birds such as the yellow oriole we luckily sighted. Could the many caimans in the lakes be the reason the black-bellied whistling ducks spend their time sitting in the trees? We were surprised to see a large patch of lotus blossoms growing in the lake - not native to Trinidad but certainly a beautiful sight.
