🤔Have you ever seen a blue sea dragon? 🐉 This pelagic sea slug (Glaucus marginatus) floats upside down, travelling by winds and ocean currents, feeding on other drifting species. 🔥 Instead of spitting fire, the blue sea dragon can deliver a painful sting! 📸Aurelie Hector

How far do the Sooty Terns of Farquhar fly? These miniature backpack GPS loggers have been deployed on 11 birds in #Seychelles to track their location, fishing areas and how long they stay at sea. #conservation #visitseychelles #birdlife #ics #seychellesisland #Nature #farquhar

Wonderful video from @IslandBiologist

Imagine counting thousands of Sooty Tern chicks running around in a colony like crazy chickens! Just another day in the office for @ICSSeychelles team on @FarquharAtoll. The recent census shows an estimated 232,462 breeding pairs of the #seabird species on Iles aux Goelettes.
