Welcome to Round Island!!


Hey Everyone! I have been in Mauritius for about 3 weeks now and I love it here! I am currently on Round Island, an island off the coast that has been made into a Nature Reserve. There are currently 8 other people on the here with me. It is a bit hard to Blog from here as the internet connection is a dial up and we are also incredible busy!! I will post some pictures when I get back on the mainland and update everyone on what I have been doing.  I am an Assistant Warden here so I am getting to do a lot of neat things and dabble in a bunch of different things. I have done Petrel Nest site surveys (and actually get to catch them and band them!!), weekly watering f the Tortoises and plants and some weeding, and plant nursery work. The thing I have been enjoying most is the BOA SEARCHES!!! They are so amazing and fun, and can only be done after dark! I have may cool pictures to share from these nights!! Well I am leaving the Island on Nov 12th for my two weeks off so I will get on here and post some pictures and share some stories from my first month on Round Island!!
