Stephen has recently returned from an all too short a holiday trip to the Seychelles - the flight was 'offset' by planting over a hundred trees to supplement those at the edge of an existing area of Sussex woodland!

During that time he managed to find time to photograph a few of the fascinating and often endangered animals that live in this island paradise, including the Seychelles Giant Tortoise, The Barred Ground Dove, the Seychelles Palm Spider and the Common Mudskipper.
