A large number of breeding pairs. This individual is hatching eggs and therefore will not leave the nest. When I approached it made a very loud noise to scare me away. Nests are always in rock crevices in the middle of vegetation. Access to the island is limited, I was taken there by Environmental Awareness Group who are monitoring the biodiversity there.
