More birds! You really had to watch where you stepped on this island - masked boobies on one side, swallow-tailed gulls on the other, herons in the middle, and frigate birds and red-footed boobies in the trees!

Here, we saw lots of nesting masked boobies, and I got to see newly hatched chicks up close which was amazing.

The snorkelling here was pretty good too, but I didn�t stay long because we were sharing the water with a LOT of sharks! Some people counted up to 8! Too many for me!
