Help – fishaholic needs a fix (pictures/diaries)…

Who owns it? Disney?

No (thank God)
It's owned by a Swedish guy and is perched on the beach in an idylic setting.
See - http://fairyland.sc/en/index.php

I think that the 'fairy' in the name comes from the fairy terns that 'nest' in the surrounding casuarina trees.

When I say 'nest' - these pure-white birds lay their egg in the fork of a branch rather than go to the trouble of building a nest proper. This must save a lot of time and effort, but is rather a precarous start in life for fairy tern Jnr.

Steve,
It looks absolutely gorgeous, all the more so for not being owned by Disney.Phew!
Wouldn't mind seeing those fairy terns.

Cheers

Hi Carol
I have some photos, but they are not very good - so you might like to check this link out for some better pics. http://www.oceanlight.com/html/fairy_tern.html

PS - If you like the fairy terns, you'll love the red-billed tropic birds that nest on Little Tobago.

Thanks Steve
They certainly are beautiful.
We did manage to see one tropic bird on Little Tobago. It wasn't the best time of year to see them apparently. What I liked best about that visit was seeing Gaston Jackson again.
Cheers
Carol
