The brown noddy is common on Aride and many of the other islands.
They were seen in large numbers the day we were there and were making a lot of noise.
There are around 16,000 nesting pairs here so I guess that explains the noise.

White-tailed tropicbirds also breed on Aride year around.
They lay their egg in a nest on the ground.
As chicks grow older parental visits become shorter and less frequent. After twenty-five days they are only fed once a day. Eventually the chicks are forced to go out and find their own meal.

The beautiful white fairy tern has a blue bill and breeds all year long on Aride.
There are up to 20,000 pairs on the island.
They lay their single egg on the bare branches throughout the island.

Aride is perhaps the most unspoiled granite island. At one time it was home to many rare endemics. The Seychelles Magpie Robin is still holding on there but only a few are left.

Aride is a granite island, 45 minutes by boat from Praslin. Ninety percent of the island is occupied by a rugged hill rising to 134m, the remaining area is a flat plain with beautiful white sand.
