Summary:
The southern end of Pelsaert Island in the Houtman Abrolhos, Western Australia, has significant breeding aggregations of wedge-tailed shearwater (Ardenna pacifica) that nest in burrows, sooty tern (Onychoprion fuscatus) that nest on the ground and common noddy (Anous stolidus) that nest on low shrubs. Most birds in this photograph are common (or brown) noddies. Over one million seabirds occur here during the breeding season. Photo: Andrew Burbidge.
