The second night also 1:30 am.

I woke up by the birds and got up at 5 am.

The owner of this Island is not a bird but a giant tortoise "Esmeralda" male 250 years old, 400 kg.

 I see many giant tortoises in Galapagos, but this "Island lord" does not give up his neck probably because he is accustomed to humans.

The small and clean room is decorated with
artificial flowers and has a girlish feel.
Boiled eggs will soon appear.
Undoubtedly Sooty Tern eggs,
t is one size smaller than chicken,
but the yolk color is dark and the taste is good.

 It seems that you can eat all-you-can-eat poultry farms in nature.
(This is a secret story)

Even an oversized omelet was served, but I was reluctant to take out chopsticks.

 It says that the number of birds is less than before
There is a staff lodge near the colony.
 "What are you eating?"

 Pointing at the colony, "Fresh Egg".

The staff's "Mr. XX" is more delicious than
the hotel restaurant (because it is anonymous,
it keeps its name).

 I promise to visit the staff's house at 11 o'clock.

There are no colorful birds or beautiful singing voices anywhere.

With nature, nature is so good, but it's over the limit.

By the time they came to this Island, they were actively broadcasting the places where they picked up and sold eggs on local TV.

Take a cold midnight shower, drink leftover wine, and lie down on a birdcage bed.
Kotetsu next door seems to have a hard time sleeping.

 Rubbing her sleepy eyes, I step into a colony of birds with a camera in his hand early in the morning.

There are so many birds that the sky looks like a rain cloud.
 A strange landscape with unimaginable crying.

The ceiling is open to the outside,
but the birds do not enter the room.
There are "geckos" and insects in the attic,
but it doesn't bother me when I get used to it.

At 2:00 am, I wake up in a dream.

 It seems that he was sleeping in a birdcage.
My body is soaked with sweat.
As usual, Gau, Gyo and the birds are talking all night long.

The large Island lodge has a fan on the ceiling and the rest is a natural breeze.
It is open door all day and there is no key.

 If you stay still, the sea breeze will comfortably pass through your skin.

However, at night, I used a mosquito coil and used a bed in a nostalgic mosquito net.

Birds are noisy when they think they sleep at night, but they make a big noise all night long.
 

There are 2 to 3 million bird colonies from April
to October.

Sooty terns and more than 20 kinds of birds
are birds, birds, and birds that you can't understand.

You can't beat the number of birds on this Island
than you've seen on any Island.
 I came to seek true nature on an isolated Island
floating in the Indian Ocean.

30 minutes north of Mahe Island, where the capital is located.
A 20-seater propeller plane flies once a day.
He guided us over the emerald sea to a paradise for birds.

I'm excited to see what kind of beautiful birds' singing voices I can meet.
When you get off the runway of the meadow, you will be checked into the lodge.
 "It's hot! It's hot"!
There are 24 lodges on the Island, which is 4 km around on foot.
The finest sandy beach is so white that it hurts your eyes.

He eats his favorite avocados and bananas.
 I walk dignifiedly without detecting the noisy birdsong.
Giant tortoises that live with nature,
humans just peek from the outside Isn't it good?

Humans were the number one enemy
of the decline in birds.

A star that shines in the night sky,
"I know everything about stars."
