More of the Brac

Finally back from the Brac. Now we are all sick with the cold and moping around the house on a sunny Monday morning. We had a great trip except for the flight delay on our return but I guess that's the way it goes. I worked on Friday doing presentations to school kids about birds then had meetings much of Saturday. Hayley, Hunter and Francelia made good use of the pool while I was gone then joined me for the exploration of a newly discovered cave Sat afternoon. It was discovered because a new road goes right over it. The entrance is small but it opens into a large ever decending bunch of tunnels and chambers. Everyone was thrilled by the pristine beauty of the cave; now we must figure out how to protect it if we can.
We also visited Rebecca's Cave and saw two fruit bats roosting and ended the day with a long swim in the pool. On Sunday Carol and I went off to photograph Tropic Birds, then we packed up and moved in to Uncle Darvin's apartment! Watched the Holland-Portugal football game then visited more caves before getting our stuff together and headed off to the airport. Pictures: Uncle Darvin and Mr. Keeley in the newly discovered cave; Hayley, Hunter and Whitney in the same cave, The kids and me decending the path to Peter's Cave (houses in the background can give some perspective), me handing out prizes at Spot Bay Primary School.
