| Information |
Leaving
the remote beauty of St François, a journey of some 100 km
lies ahead before the next landfall at Providence
Atoll, a rather peculiar, long thin atoll
oriented roughly north-south with Providence at its northern tip
and Bancs du Providence at its southern extreme. The huge shallow
lagoon attracts hundreds of Grey Herons, this being the only place
in Seychelles where herons outnumber all other bird species. Black-naped
Terns and possibly Roseate Terns breed, but data is lacking. |
