On Lady Elliot Island in our southern Barrier Reef, where I visited in late 2020, the Black Noddies began breeding recently in 1985. Eastern Reef Egrets, mostly white phase, hunt the shallow reefs when the low tide allows. Keeping the differences going, it regurgitates food to its young, behaviour more typical of gulls than terns.

Owls live and migrate from Arctic circumpolar to Colorado prairie to South American rainforest to Southeast Asian islands, Galapagos islands, Canary islands–many many islands–to coastal Australia and onward. They are also hunted. They roost and hunt, at night (mostly) when we can’t see them.

2020 will be remembered as a year that we’d like to forget. Later in the year we were able to travel around the north of Western Australia. Our 2020 year list stands at 324 for Victoria and the north of Western Australia combined, so we are more than happy with that under current circumstances. How naïve we were.
