Resident scoops wildlife book
Kemda Bean of Somerset was the winner of a limited edition painting and a copy of the pocketbook, Bermuda’s Top 10: A Guide to the Island’s Wildlife.
Ms Bean won a Facebook competition launched by the family of watercolour artist Jill Amos Raine, who produced the book to teach visitors and locals about the Island’s breathtaking flora and fauna.
As part of her prize, she also claimed a limited edition print of the State House in St George’s, painted by Ms Raine, a collector’s item with a print run of just 388.
Ms Raine said in a statement: “This was a very special prize. Kemda won our wildlife travel guide and was excited to find out more about the birds, fish, plants and habitats of our beautiful island.” The print of the State House was produced to commemorate Bermuda’s World Heritage Site status.
Bermuda’s Top 10 was written and illustrated by the Raine family and is a crash course on the common birds, plants and animals that are found in Bermuda.
“Our guide book explains which sea creatures you’re going to float past when you’re snorkelling, how to spot a glowing green Bermuda fire worm and the best places to look for amazing wildlife in your own backyard,” Ms Raine said.
“I know that Kemda and her family will have fun learning more about Bermuda’s natural treasures.”
