MSN News has featured a short film showing the stunning wildlife waiting to be discovered on Cousin Island, only a short boat-ride from Praslin, Seychelles.
Created by wildlife photographer and videographer Martin Harvey, the film, Cousin Island – Paradise Regained, captures the unique lives of the creatures which call the Cousin Island Special Reserve home.
Cousine Island Seychelles – Paradise Regained… by DLucienne
Transformed from a former coconut plantation in the 1960s, conservation work on the island has meant that a natural forest has been allowed to thrive, which now supports a wide range of indigenous flora and fauna.
From Seychelles Magpie Robins to White-tailed Tropic Birds, Sooty Terns, Frigate birds and a Fairy Tern feeding its chic, the film captures the rich endemic and visiting bird population of the island.
Other highlights of the film include a hawksbill turtle coming to shore to lay eggs, and the conservation work which goes into protecting them until the hatchlings can be released to find their way to the ocean.
