 Michaelmas Cay, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

Michaelmas Cay, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

Michaelmas Cay is one of the most important bird nesting sites in the Great Barrier Reef. There can be as many as 10,000 - 20,000 breeding pairs on the island at one time. Michaelmas Cay is a significant breeding site for ground nesting species like common noddies, sooty terns, crested terns and lesser crested terns. Sixteen species of seabirds are regularly observed. Access is limited to a small roped area on the beach for limited time each day. 

This view of a Brown Booby and the sea birds of Michaelmas Cay was taken during nearly five weeks travelling in Australia and New Zealand (VR Tour to follow soon, stay tuned).
