Aia ʻo Frégate Island i kēia manawa no ka Seychelles Warbler (Acrocephalus sechellensis) - ka 100th manu ma kā lākou papa inoa. Ua holomua ka unuhi ʻana mai Cousin Island Special Reserve a ua hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻia ka heluna kanaka hou, me ka lele ʻana o nā manu ma luna o ka mokupuni a hōʻike i nā hoa. Ua lawe ʻia ka unuhi ʻana ma ka lā 7 o Dekemaba a me 14, 2011 a he 59 mau manu i hoʻoili ʻia. Ma hope o ka hopu ʻia ʻana o nā manu ma luna o Cousin, ua hoʻokomo ʻia kēlā me kēia manu i loko o nā pahu pahu, lawe ʻia i Frégate e ka helikopter, a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka lā hoʻokahi. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā warblers ma kahi kokoke i ke kahua tennis, kahi wahi i ʻike mua ʻia he "kiʻekiʻe" kahi noho i ka wā o kahi noiʻi mua-translocation. Ua maikaʻi a olakino nā manu a pau i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai me nā hōʻailona ʻole o ka ʻeha.
Ma hope o ka unuhi ʻia ʻana, laha koke nā warblers mai ke kahua hoʻokuʻu ʻana a i loko o hoʻokahi lā a ʻelua paha, ua holo kēia mau mea hoʻohiwahiwa ma ka mokupuni. He leo maikaʻi ko kēia mau manu liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a he mea maʻalahi hoʻi i ka mea nānā aku ma ke kīwī ʻana a me ka phishing. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka unuhi ʻana, ʻo ia ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi heluna hānau hou o ka warbler Seychelles i hoʻopilikia ʻia, e ʻae ana i nā ʻano e hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia mai ka "pilikia" a i ka "kokoke hoʻoweliweli" a wehe ʻia mai ka BirdLife International List of Threatened Bird Species of the Honua.
HOOKU'U ANA I 30 OPIO ALDABRA Pilikia Honu
Aia ʻo Frégate Island ka lua o ka heluna kanaka nui loa o Aldabra Giant Tortoises, me kahi o 2,000 mau kanaka kaʻa manuahi. Hiki i kēia mau honu ke ulu i ko lākou ola ʻana, inā ʻae nā kūlana, a hiki ke ola i 150 mau makahiki a ʻoi paha. ʻO ka awelika kaumaha o nā kāne he 250 kg a me nā wahine 150 kg. Loaʻa pinepine lākou i nā helu ma nā wahi malu i ka wā wela o ka lā. ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu a hānai ʻia nā honu ma ka mokupuni, akā ʻaʻole makemake nui i ka noho ʻana o nā kānaka. Ke makaʻu, huki koke nā honu i ko lākou mau poʻo i loko o ko lākou pūpū, me ka hoʻohuhū ʻana i ko lākou hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka ea mai ko lākou mau māmā.
Ma ka mokupuni ʻo Frégate, mālama ʻia nā honu pēpē i loko o kahi peni no ka pale ʻana, kahi e hoʻopau ʻia ai me ka nui o nā lau, nā hua, a me ka wai hou. Ke ʻelemakule a hiki i kahi nui, hoʻokuʻu ʻia lākou i ka nahele. Hoʻopuka ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ʻelua manawa i ka makahiki, maʻamau i ka wā ʻahaʻaina no ka papahana Kalikimaka a me ka Makahiki Hou.
Ma Dekemaba 23, 2011 a me Ianuali 1, 2012, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui kaiaola, me ka Luna Hoʻokele a me nā malihini o Fregate Island Private i ka huina o 30 Aldabra Giant Tortoises ma kahi o Anse Parc. Ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, hoʻomaka nā honu e mākaʻikaʻi ma ia wahi, kaʻahele a puni ka lau a ʻai i nā lau hou. Ke nānā ʻia nei lākou a ua maʻalahi i ko lākou wahi hou.
NA MANU MELE MA KA MOKUPUNI FREGATE
ʻO Birding ma Frégate i nā mahina i hala iho nei ua hāʻawi mai i kekahi mau ʻike kūikawā, me nā ʻano i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia ma ʻaneʻi ma mua, ʻoiai ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia lākou ma ka mokupuni ma mua. Ua hana ʻo Garganey wahine iā ia iho ma ka home mai Nowemapa i loko o ka loko iʻa kokoke i ka marina. He ʻuʻuku loa ʻo ia i ka wā mua, akā ʻaʻohe nānā i kēia mau lā i ke kanaka a hele i kāna ʻoihana me he mea lā ʻaʻohe kanaka. Ua ʻike ʻo Dekemaba i ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ʻelua mau mea ʻai pipi ʻulaʻula, me kā lākou mau leo ʻano e hoʻomaopopo ana i ko lākou hele ʻana. Ua puni lākou no kekahi mau lā ma mua o ka nalo ʻana mai ka pāpū ma kahi o ka spa a me Glacis Cerf.
Ua ʻike mau ʻia nā ʻano manu frigate ʻelua e mākaʻikaʻi ana ma luna o ka mokupuni i Dekemaba, me ka ʻoi aku o 20 mau kānaka i ʻike pū ʻia i nā manawa he nui. Ua hoʻi ʻo Cuckoos i kā lākou makahiki i Frégate me ʻehā mau cuckoo maʻamau i ʻike ʻia ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka mokupuni. Eia hou, ke kakali nei ʻo Fregate i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻano mea hou a hoihoi i nā mahina e hiki mai ana.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- The objective of the translocation is to establish another breeding population of the once critically-endangered Seychelles warbler, allowing the species to be down-listed from “vulnerable” to “near threatened” and removed from the BirdLife International List of Threatened Bird Species of the World.
- A translocation from Cousin Island Special Reserve was a great success and the new population has adapted extremely well, with the birds dispersing widely over the island and displaying for mates.
- After the translocation, the warblers spread quickly away from the release site and within a day or two, these intriguing passerines were all over the island.
