  • Seychelles & Madagascar with Aldabra Atoll
    SEYCHELLES & MADAGASCAR WITH ALDABRA ATOLL ABOARD THE SILVER DISCOVERER OCTOBER 20–NOVEMBER 6, 2018 Pitta-like Ground Roller was found near a freshly dug nest in Amber Mountain NP (Photo M. Valkenburg) LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM By Machiel Valkenburg When I learned about the option of leading this fascinating Zegrahm cruise for VENT, I jumped right on it, as I knew it would deliver some spectacular birds, mammals, and landscapes. Oooh man I was right! The trip started in paradisiacal surroundings on the island of Mahe, the largest of all islands that together form the Seychelles. Before embarking the Silver Discoverer , we planned some pre-tour birding. In the afternoon we made an outing to find the rare Seychelles White-eye, Seychelles Blue-Pigeon, and Seychelles Sunbird. Rapidly they were found, and good looks were enjoyed by all. In the evening after dinner we went out for probably the rarest and most difficult bird of the entire tour, the Seychelles Scops-Owl. For a long time we heard no response, but just before we decided to leave the designated spot we heard one quick rasping call. Soon after, we found the bird in full delight—just amazing! The enchanting Seychelles Sunbird has a very restricted range (photo M.Valkenburg) Our journey would take us from several Seychellois islands to Madagascar, visiting the world-famous Aldabra Atoll on the way, ending the trip with visits to Reunion and Mauritius. This adventure was one-of- a-kind, with our program visiting so many difficult to reach places where we had the chance of finding many of the world’s most hard-to-get endangered species.

    Author : Touitou David, may 2005 (Last Revision : november 2013) GENERAL INFORMATIONS ABOUT SPECIES AND ISLANDS In order to have an exhaustive species list, I used two different books : - Marine Shells of the Seychelles Alan Jarret book - The Manual of Living Conidae Röckel, Korn & Kohn Both are recent and good litterature to start with. Unfortunately these two books offer a different list concerning Seychelles cone shells. The one from A. Jarret shows 56 species and Röckel, Korn & Kohn one roughly 80. I must add the following information to your knowledge : even if the Marine shells of the Seychelles is the most recent book, the informations inside were collected a long time ago while Mr Alan Jarret was living there. He started the book but never finished it and much later, he decided to publish his huge work. At the time he had poor informations about deeper species from 20-60m as scuba was not as common as today. I guess he and his mates did not have the chance to get their hands on all the species there. That's propably the reason why there is a huge difference between these two books. Seychelles are unique and may not own all the spcecies listed in The Manual of Living Conidae though. I can take the example of Conus textile, Linné 1758. It seems that the species is not present there... Mr Jarret did lot listed it and I never seen it even if elsewhere it is a common species... And it shall be present when you read the The Manual of Living Conidae.
