We took a day to relax at the pool overlooking the beautiful coral reef. We finally warmed up from the scuba diving. The weather has been delightful, warm during the day with a cooling off in the evening. Of course all days in Australia are “fine” per the weather forecast. In the afternoon we went on the bird walk to learn about who is making what noises all day and night. In fact, earplugs are provided if needed to sleep as you keep the windows open for the cool refreshing air. Up to 70,000 black noddy terns are currently nesting and laying eggs. The females sit on the nest and the male hunts for the perfect leaf to add to the leaves and bird pooh cement. A study was done that determined that on 25% of the leaves are deemed suitable for the abode. She will drop the imperfect leaf and send him off to hopefully select better the next time. We observed and it appears to be true. It is also nesting time for the mutton birds who are sea birds except for when nesting. They fly in at night, crashing everywhere they land as their legs are set far back for sea travels. Then they begin their mournful cries, which make the island seem like it is inhabited by ghosts. The eastern reefs Egrets have their babies now along with the Buff Banded Rails. The silver eyes are the small greenish birds with the rings around there eyes who will not sit still for a photo. Other bird inhabitants include the Sacred Kingfisher, Silver Gulls, Brown Boobies, Lesser Golden Plovers and Bar tailed Godwits.
