Field Notes

Description:

Smaller and more graceful than Red-billed. Here with chick, the ball of fluff on the left! These birds on Bird Island have no natural predators and nest on the ground in between roots. There are chicks of various stages in the vicinity and I have added these to the spotting.

Habitat:

Small, remote island
