Looking a bit like the negative image of a tern, the Black Noddy (Anous minutus) is a striking pelagic seabird. We saw many during our recent cruise and knew this graceful bird had to be the focus of our #33 Bird Photography Challenge when we returned.
Our second stop along the Outer Reef and the Capricornia Cays is Fitzroy Reef. This time there is no cay (island), just a fringing reef encircling an aqua lagoon and allowing a narrow entrance to visiting yachts.
We feel so privileged to be spending time in the Capricornia Cays, part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. Our first stop is North West Island, where we spend two nights.
