|
| This is my last day on Bird Island. Unfortunately the weather still didn't improve, but this is not a problem for me (except for the colors of the pictures). Above, the Bird Island vegetation: a forest growing on some parts of the inner island. | |
 |
 |
| Even with overcast sky, the beach is still beautiful. |

|
| A beautiful Bird Island beach. There are no footprints on the sand. |
 |
 |
| I continue to walk, turning around the island and soon I discover that, near Passe Cocos, what two days ago was looking like the picture on the left, today is almost totally covered by a thick layers of seaweeds, probably carried here by the combined action of wind, tide and ocean's currents. | |

 |
| A turtle that I didn't see before. I don't know how that Noddie chicks went on the turtle's leg and why... and also why the turtle went inside the pool... | |
 |
| A Twin Otter is ready to bring me back to Mahe', where I will arrive at night, before continuing back to my country the following morning. |

A large beach of pure-white sand surrounds the entire island for a circumference of about 5 kilometers. BIRD DAY 1 | DAY 2 | DAY 3 | DAY 4 |
