Grey Wagtail (Pep Nogués)

Pep Nogués & Ari Fernandez, Island Conservation Society Conservation Officers at Alphonse have reported on 8 October a Grey Wagtail at a new fresh water concrete-base pool, recently restored by ICS to increase the fresh water availability for the free-roaming giant tortoises on the island. "This sighting reinforces the vital importance of a permanent presence of fresh water in remote outer islands for these tiny migratory birds", says Pep. 

SBRC has accepted 9 previous records of this species, including two from the Amirantes, one from D' Arros in 2006 and one Marie Louise in 1976. This latest record is the most southerly record for Seychelles
