Bermuda - wildlife and heritage

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary explores Bermuda - the oldest of all of the UK Overseas Territories. Located in the North Atlantic, it is home to the oldest continually inhabited English settlement in the New World. It was first sighted by Spanish explorers, but settled by the English in 1609. Bermuda is home to many forts and the World Heritage site of St George's, the old capital - home to history and traditions. In this film, we see the "dunking of the nagging wench" - a tradition dating back to the 18th century.Bermuda is the most urbanised of all of the UK Overseas Territories, however offshore islands are a haven for wildlife, including many unique plants and animals. On the remote offshore islands, a unique petrel was rediscovered after centuries of presumed extinction, and the species has been intensively conserved ever since. In this video, we follow this incredible conservation success story.
Please note: although complementary to the BBC FOUR series, the 40 short mini-documentaries are not commissioned or editorially overseen by BBC.

There were actually more native species of fauna that were native and Endemic to Bermuda that went Extinct in the past. Here are a few: Bermuda Flicker, Bermuda Saw-Whet Owl, Bermuda Hawk, Bermuda Towhee, Bermuda Cicada.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to cruise to Bermuda this summer (July 2018). Aside from the cultural events, we took much of our time to explore/snorkel on/near Warwick Long Beach and near Daniel's Island. I was able to photograph the beautiful Longtails - My wife fell in love with them, as well as "videotape" underwater species such as Rainbow and emperor Parrotfish, Sergeant Majors, Bream, Tang, Ocean Surgeonfish, Slippery Dicks (wrasse), and even a young barracuda that was cruising in 7' water. Although the Kiskadee are "accidental" invasives from the Carribean waters, I did enjoy photographing photographing them as well. I am hoping we can return to Bermuda and perhaps explore some of the less traveled areas to observe and photograph (respectfully from a distance) the Bermuda Petrel (Cahow) and other wildlife that are not seen on the more populated areas of the Islands. Just beautiful
