Bird Island - Seychelles
Monday, August 20, 2007 at 06:06PM 
Bird Island sits around 100 km north of the main island of Mahe at the edge of the Seychelles Bank. This tiny coral island plays host to one of the world most spectacular seabird spectacles. Between June and October ca. 750 000 sooty terns congegrate to breed. In addition significant populations of greater and lesser Noddies, Tropicbirds, and fairy terns are also in attendance. Bird Island Lodge which was my home for almost 10 days, is one of the most ecological sensitive tourism development I have ever come across. In course of my stay Nick and Jo, the island and lodge managers became good friends and I cannot wait to return to Bird Island in 2008.
