A birder’s paradise, the motus around the east side of Penrhyn held nesting colonies of Red-tailed Tropicbirds, Noddy’s and White Terns. An occasional Booby and Magnificent Frigatebird would liven up the scene, but for the most part, the Tropicbirds RULED!
love love love them!
Those Motus were pretty special, alright. They’d be a nature reserve in other parts of the world, so we were lucky to be able to tread lightly in the vicinity of hundreds of birds.
