Black Noddy / White-capped Noddy (Anous minutus)

While I was on the Heron Island, in the Great Barrier Reef, the Black Noddies came back in the early evening or late afternoon to rest on the many trees on that island. Although I have also tried to film some of them arriving on that island, this was the best opportunity to film them.

Hereby I am also taking the opportunity to share some information which I have learned on that island about the symbiotic relationships between the seabirds (Noddies, Shearwaters, ...) and the Pisonia Forests, for example Grand Devil's-claws (Pisonia grandis), on these islands (on PBS Learning Media):
