Seychelles Magpie-robin (Frégate)
4° 35.2′ S · 55° 56.4′ E
Frégate was the last refuge of the Seychelles magpie-robin: by 1970 only 16 birds survived, all here, and the island still holds the largest population (about 115 of some 245 birds in 2012).
Practical
Birds were translocated to Cousin (1994), Cousine (1995), Aride (2002) and Denis (2008); IUCN has downlisted the species from Critically Endangered to Endangered. If you can't land on Frégate, see the species on Aride or Cousin on guided reserve visits.
