For the last few weeks, Paul and Lavelu have been working on clearing up the channel from the sea to have a constant fresh flow of water coming into The Sanctuary (Roche Caiman). And as it happens, a new flow of life has also been swimming in through the channel…
Water levels have been low in recent weeks
The drain pipes were dry and clogged with rubbish…
Paul checking if the water is flowing in
At high tide the water flowed in effortlessly
And so did the male tilapia who took the opportunity to build a nest
The female tilapia feels safe from the large predators out at sea
On the other end of the Sanctuary, the grey heron is clamly perched
Surely, the grey heron must just be taking in the view at the Sanctuary
Any disturbance and the bird is off to a quieter part of the Sanctuary
