I'm going to try to do most of them, but the ones I didn't see won't have the "personal sightings" note, as well as no sound description for the ones I can't find elsewhere
The Seychelles Kestrel is an amazing little bird that I have done some studies on. I caught some to get some blood samples for DNA studies. It is the smallest of all the true falcons Falco sp. I m enjoying your accounts of the wonderful birds from the Seychelles.
Glad to hear it! I did a little bit of study of island dwarfism for a school project and used the Seychelles kestrel as a prime example, so it was fun for me to see it as well!
Seychelles black parrot: Almost the last of the birds I personally saw. And I want to finish those before moving on to the reptiles
Seychelles swiftlet Yeah, your chances are real low for this one Sorry for the lack of information, there just isn't that much to find
Herons and such: Took a little break from the Seychelles birds before I created the last card with my own sightings. The last remaining birds weren't seen by me. The Seychelles White-eye, Warbler, Fody and Magpie-robin are the last bird cards I'm making, unless anyone knows of any other birds that should be mentioned. After that, we're moving on to reptiles.
I did not, but I didn't want to include shorebirds either way, because of the sheer number of them present on the Seychelles. The White-tailed tropicbird being an exception, as they are land birds in practice
Seychelles white-eye: I've been to all the Mahé areas where they reside, but didn't see them. So your chances are very low
Seychelles warbler: Yeah, it really sounds kinda mammalian. Like a fruit bat, but more high-pitched (look it up!). You might notice I'm slowing down a bit. In the background I'm working on a lot of different projects to distract myself from my own mortality. Some zoo-related, some not. I do intend to finish this entirely... Eventually.
