Candlelighting ceremony held

In an attempt to lift spirits after a downbeat few days in Bermuda, more than 100 people gathered for a candle lighting ceremony at Albuoy’s Point Sunday.

The group held hands, observed a “Moment of Reflection” and sang songs before candles were handed out so that those present could spread the light to the rest of the Island as they left.

The get-together was set up by Imagine Bermuda 2009, a community initiative aiming to lay the foundations for the 400th anniversary of the settling of the Island.

Organisers said they wanted to help heal divides across Bermuda and demonstrate common bonds that link the community.

They said they felt compelled into action after circumstances which have split the Island in recent days, including allegations of Government corruption in the Bermuda Housing Corporation affair and a damning report into the public education system.

Two flamingos hatched at BAMZ

Two American Flamingo chicks have debuted at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (BAMZ) to bolster the already successful colony there.

The birds, also known as ‘Phoenicopterus rubber’, are now frequently seen outside their new nests, being fed and are quickly settling in with the other 66 adult birds.

According to BAMZ, the chicks’ soft, white, downy, plumage, will turn dark grey and fledge in about four weeks time.

BAMZ Head zookeeper Robin Marirea has helped in culminating the popular attraction and everyone is encouraged to stop by the Zoo to welcome its cute, new additions.

Dolphin Quest seeking names for calves

Dolphin Quest is offering readers the chance to name a dolphin, following the birth of three calves at the Bermuda Maritime Museum.

The three baby dolphins are all girls and the team at Dolphin Quest would like suggestions for names associated with people, things or places on Bermuda.

Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins Cirrus, Bailey and Caliban all gave birth within 14 days of each other. Cirrus, 33, gave birth on May 23; Bailey, 18, on June 3; and Caliban, 14, on June 6.

Dolphin Quest now invites everyone to the Keep to see the new additions to the family first-hand.

Entries for names are open until July 31 and visitors can drop off their suggestions at the Dolphin Deck gift shop.

The three winners will not only have their names adopted but will receive a photo of the calf and get to meet all the mothers and babies.
