Feb 18 still on the ground, in the air on the point, Binion found at least 25 eggs there. A very small number of Noddies is mixed in with the birds on the ground. Courtship feeding was observed in pairs of Noddies, one bird would grab the tip of another's bill & shake it vigorously; the other would then open its mouth and the first would place its head inside. [Much better than giving Whitman chocolates]. Noddies seem to have spread out from the islet to the rocks along the SE shore and to the S edge of the N point. There they sit in 3 groups, one of which contained many tagged birds today. Perhaps they have been crowded off the islet by the Scotias, who seem to follow them wherever they congregate: first on the islet, then the SE shore, then the N point. Many Noddies now sit on the concrete abutments. The same number seems to be present in the daytime as were there before all on the islet. More come in at night and roost on wires and sit also along the SE & E shores and up in the grass on the E corner.
