I wonder how many endemics there are in Mauritius & Rodrigues? Do we have a bird-list? With your new lens you could hit the National Geographic Magazine, let's go for it! October or November 2015? :) There..... now its in writing! " Gerald's Adventures in Wonderland" it could be a great title for the tour!
