Several Masked Boobies were nesting on Little Gin and Glack-footed
(sub-adult) Chicks wer banded. A few common Noddies were nesting. Seals
and turtles 10 - 15 were present. The turtles were laying eggs. The
island has no vegetation.
We then went South looking for Disappearing Island by following
the reef. We soon saw it and had no difficulty getting ot it. Two
Brown Boobies were sitting on the island as were also Masked Boobies.
Seals and trutles were also present. The swells around the island were
quite bad and the rubber boat had to be held constantly. The island
looks as drawn:
