It's nice to know they are there. Hopefully the people running the island have an understanding that nature is part of what attracts visitors.

Thanks for sorting out the pictures Dan.
The Island has very tight rules on the torts to protect them. These where found out and about the pathway through the scrubland at about 10.30am. We spoke with a local guy who was dog walking who said how lucky we where to see these few as they usually appear to warm up at dawn then all go hide in the shade from the full sun. What a thrill Sue |
