That antiquity produces a high level of endemism, e.g. 19% of 62 breeding birds are endemic to the islands! The author, Chris Mason-Parker, has lived in Seychelles since 2009, where he is an active member of the conservation community. On the other hand, the isolation makes for those huge seabird colonies.

With the construction of the huge Iron Gates dam on the Danube, the birds returned to breed in newly flooded river islands.

As I have explained before these islands are the best place for a lot of the birding here because they are more easily protected from introduced mammals which wreck such havoc on the wildlife here. Since 1984 it has been planted with native bush and pests were controlled, and is now used as a wildlife reserve.
