British Indian Ocean Territory - seabirds

Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary explores the astounding seabird colonies of the British Indian Ocean Territory. The tiny islands of the Chagos Archipelago are havens for nesting birds, and a precious resource in the vastness of the Indian Ocean. Stewart McPherson was given rare access to visit several islands of the Territory to document the astounding diversity of birds that call this remote corner of the Indian Ocean home. In this film, we follow conservation efforts that aim to clear the islands of invasive rodents and coconut palms to allow the natural bird numbers to recover.

[@sumanghosh-pb3dw]

2:11 - didn't like seeing the rat in the trap, but I'm glad their trying to get rid of the rats.

[@punodelgato9001]

Best leave 'em be. It's bad luck to kill a seabird.

[@cheeseblog]

Ignorant humans are to blame for the rat rat problems. We are the most destructive animals on earth.

[@atmakali9599]

Nothing wrong with rats. Why prefer them over birds ? All gods creatures trying to survive.

[@somehuman1901]

Of course humans fucked it up line always

[@bk24769]

Sir Wowcoolith I know. Poor animals. :(

[@edgarvalencia3657]

Actually it was rodents. The humans left. The rodents stayed and took over the ground/low brush.
