Cousin Island, Seychelles

 

Cousin Island Special Reserve was established in 1968 to protect the last remaining 26 Seychelles Warblers that survived in a small patch of Mangrove on the island. Following successful conservation efforts including the re-establishment of native forest and translocations to other islands, the total population of Seychelles Warblers is today around 3,300 birds.

Cousin Island, Seychelles

 

The endemic Fody does not do well where introduced rats are present but successful conservation efforts on Cousin and translocations to other predator free islands have increased numbers and there are now over 3,000 birds, with thriving populations on 6 islands. The Seychelles Fody mainly eats seeds, fruit and insects but will predate Fairy Tern eggs, knocking them to the ground if the adult is disturbed.

Denis Island, Seychelles

 

This is a male. Not the most colourful Fody (a family of birds related to Weavers), but endemic to the Seychelles, only occurring on 6 small islands. It was reintroduced to Denis in 2004 following the eradication of rats.

Praslin, Seychelles

 

A relatively common endemic found on most of the granitic islands.
