In the second half of March we visited Seychelles to experience the wonderful wildlife and combine that with some relaxing days. The first day we spent to recover after a long flight. Then we went to the neighbor island Praslin were we could access the surrounding islands Cousin, Aride and La Digue by boat. After those days we went back to the main island Mahé and spent the rest of our time there. During those days we succeeded in finding all twelve endemic species that could be found on the inner island. Many of those species have very limited population with less than 500 birds, some of them as low as around 200.
