11th Day - 11 Roseate Terns
'Every available space on the island is taken up by wildlife, whether it is traditionally known for it or not. The roseate tern colony, made up of over 500 pairs, is in a woodland glade on the hill, not a shingle island, with our job just before the breeding season to clear some of the trees and create open areas! We not only have the largest colony in Seychelles, but one of the largest in the Indian Ocean, and the world’s only woodland-nesting colony – there must be something in the air.' - Island to Island - From Somerset to Seychelles
