When we visited Gran Cayman we stopped by a turtle sanctuary and saw a hawksbill, along with others. Amazing number of rare birds in Cousin....you were so fortunate to catch them with your camera! | scottishvisitor Fri Nov 28, 2008 21:35 UTC
Nice to see your love of our feathered friends :( a great pity many are killed by a fruit tree. | Nemorino Fri Aug 29, 2008 19:22 UTC
That's a funny name for an island, but it looks like a very fine place for wildlife protection. Too bad about the Pisonia grandis tree, but I guess that's a natural part of the habitat. | victorwkf Sat May 17, 2008 17:33 UTC
This is a nice place to see some wildlife, thanks for sharing :) |
