Bird Watching
Cousine Island has been identified by BirdLife International as an important bird area. Birders from around the world delight in rare sightings of the Seychelles Warbler, Seychelles magpie-robin and Seychelles Fody, as well as breeding colonies of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, White-tailed Tropicbirds, Lesser Noddies and Fairy Terns.

Guests are welcome to explore the island on the dedicated trails to preserve our conservation efforts. Guided tours will provide you with more “behind the scenes” information and access.
What is the best time of year for bird watching?
Birding available all year round. See our Eco Calendar for details about what birds are visiting, nesting, and hatching at certain times of year.
