Beach - Guyana

Number 63 Beach 

The Number 63 Beach is one of the Caribbean’s longest stretch of beach with a unique surface on which vehicles can easily drive. Located in Corentyne, Berbice (at the mouth of the Corentyne River) is is arguably  the most popular beach in Berbice. On Sundays, locals  as well as other Guyanese as far as Georgetown gather at the beach, turning it into a parking lot with their vehicles while they set up tents nearby and unpack coolers of beer, food and beach- cricket gear to pass the day leisurely (Extracted and edited from : GuyanaTimes )

Below are some pictures taken by yours truly, in the month of December, 2015.

Guyana 50th anniversary

Today marks 50 years since British colony of Guiana became Guyana.   "The days ahead are going to be difficult. Tomorrow, no doubt, we as Guyanese will indulge in the usual political conflicts and differences in ideology. But today, to my mind, is above such petty matters. For today Guyana is free." (Former President, Burnham)

Rare Full Moon on Christmas day

 A full moon coinciding with Christmas does not happen often — usually, once every 19 years. But this time, it is different, because a full moon on Christmas hasn't happened in nearly four decades. The last one was in 1977, and that's because of the vagaries of our calendar and a lunar cycle known for almost 2,500 years ( Space.com )

Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus)

The Kiskadee ( Pitangus sulphuratus ) bird is arguably the most popular and well known birds in   Guyana. The great kiskadee-as it is also known as- is a large member of the flycatcher family. It is about ten inches in length. It has black and white stripes on the crown and sides of its head. The kiskadee feeds on insects like beetles, grasshoppers and bees. However, it also feeds on berries, seeds, mice, frogs, fish and lizards. It also will dive straight into the water to catch fish.  The kiskadee can be found from extreme southern Texas south to Argentina. The great kiskadee is named for its loud  "kis-ka-dee " call. They travel in pairs and aggressively protect their nesting territory. Kiskadees are known to be monogamous. A male will mate with only one female. Mating season begins in late March.
