Red Billed Tropicbird
It appeared to be a nesting area that was in constant use, with the parent birds nesting under the few shrubs that existed on the island. We saw roughly 16 nests that afternoon. While it was clear that the earlier protection of the nature reserve to the birds had dropped off, very few people went to visit the island so consequently, and fortunately, the birds are left in peace.
