Seychelles Warbler
The conservation island: a special reserve brought back from the brink, where the Seychelles warbler recovered from a handful of birds, and every visit is a guided, low-impact eco-tour.

What a Cousin day looks like
Landing
The reserve
A wet landing by boat and a guided walk with a warden — the rules protect the island, and the birds come astonishingly close.
Walk
Endemic birds
The Seychelles warbler, magpie-robin and fody, giant tortoises in the shade, and one of the world's great conservation comebacks.
Return
Back to Praslin
A short crossing back to Praslin, with the rest of the day for Anse Lazio or a quiet beach.
