Bird Island

 Bird Island lies a 30-minute plane flight north of Mahe, on the outskirts of the Seychelles Platte. The island is unlike its larger cousins, in that it is a coral Island, lying like a pearl in the middle of a turquoise blue Ocean.

   Half of the Island is a Nature Reserve, where between the months of May and October millions of birds come to nest, hence the Island’s name.

 The sight of the birds nesting is spectacular, as is the resonating noise they make. Even in other months of the year, the sights of the rare birds which inhabit the island overwhelm the bird lovers.

 The island is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches, taking a total time of about 30 minutes to walk around the island. The coral reef offers good snorkelling possibilities.
