Hi everyone
I haven't posted for a while, but we just came back from Heron Island and I saw some great birds.

There are many black noddy nests in every tree - 100 000 nest on Heron Island and 1 000 000 in the Capricorn Bunker group of Islands - you ned to wear a broad brimmed hat, even at night!

Gidday Birdgirl, good to see you on here again.
Top shots you have got there of the Noddy it must have been great getting close to a bird like that.
Thanks for sharing Birdgirl.
Wow, must be great to experience being so close to a bird like that! Tehy really are pretty, even though they're very plain. Nice photos, I think I'll have to go there.
So many birds and so tame ! Great shots of a species I have yet to see.
Cheers,
