nesting with the nightly disturbance

Made our weekly survey of Johnston.
Both gulls still there in their same
spots. Banded 5 more Red-tailed
Tropicbirds and repainted most of
the others with darker green.
Total of 24 banded here now, plus
at least 9 still not banded.
Others present -
White-tailed Tropic bird - 1 - Dave
reports 2 were seen at times
before. It seems quite possible
that they may be nesting but -
we have been unable to discover
the site if so.
Ruddy Turnstone - 6 - Marked
decease.
Golden Plover - 60 - 70
Waidowin Tattler - 3
