Mauritius Bird’s


The first country I went birding outside South Africa. Did not had the luxury of long lenses and birds was not the priority for the rest of the party.

But I did get to see some birds! 😊

At the time (2011) there was a 130 possible species on the list, I managed to find only 18 giving me just 13,8% of Mauritius bird species.

So in Alphabetical common names order here we go:
