The Brown Noddy is a sort of tern. The coloration of course is really different but in behavior they do a lot of things the same. These birds can be found in the two small islets in Tubbataha. Some photos are in the ruins of the lighthouse in South Islet and some photos are in the beach of North Islet. This is another joint post with Sylvia.

Thanks Rey- It's amazing that there is a place in the Philippines where we can use a 24-70mm lens on a full frame camera to take birds. William- thanks, yes some of the birds were very near. If you don't move suddenly they don't mind you. Toto- thanks! It was a super experience. Thanks Neon- It's was the best birding trip ever. It made us super proud of the beauty of our country. It is great that so many people visited our website to look at the pictures. 27,000 picture views this month.
