Complete Birds of Seychelles
All sixty-two species that breed in Seychelles are illustrated in a wonderful series of colour photographs together with a further twenty-six regular visitors. In addition, a flavour is given of the many vagrant species from, Europe. Asia, Africa and even Antarctica that have been sporadically recorded at these shores.
There is checklist of every species ever recorded in Seychelles and even a dedication to the six-native species that have sadly been lost since the human occupation of this island nation.
Distinctive Features
There are three distinctive features to the birdlife of Seychelles. First there is the richness of the endemic birds, with some of the rarest birds in the world found only on a few small islands. Second there are outstanding seabird colonies that use the islands as a navy uses an aircraft carrier to watch over vast areas of open ocean. Finally, there are the migrants drawn to the islands from as far afield as the Arctic and the Antarctic due their geographical location on the periphery of major migratory routes. This book aspires to illustrate and describe every species that breeds in Seychelles or occurs outside its breeding season on a regular basis on these unique islands. Also include a full checklist of all the birds of Seychelles.

Migration is the duration of daytime and temperature, most often, making birds conscious that it is time to migrate. During winter, as the temperature drops, they start flying to warmer places. Some birds have magnetite-base receptors above their nostrils, which help them to use Earth’s magnetic fields as a compass. A pelerine is estimated to exceed 100mph the fastest moving animal on earth on a stoop dive towards prey.
