 The birds have flown in from New Guinea and Japan to the north, Fiji to the east and even from the Asian mainland, thousands of kilometers away. In summer, Green Island is the most crowded destination on the Great Barrier Reef. It may look chaotic 1, but there is some order here.Brown boobies are everywhere, but other species perfer specific nesting sites. Red-footed boobies hang on branches, a s* commodity on the outer reef. Caspian terns from Japan nest on the sand. F* birds find low-growing shrubs 2, and red-tail tropicbirds hide amongst the limestone 3 rocks.


The birds like the turtles ahead here to breed, but the turtles, unlike the birds, are about to face the greatest challenge of their visit to Green Island. By later afternoon, they move towards the prime nesting beach that surrounds the entire island.
-All around here, it's like the troops of martyrs 4. The landing force is preparing itself, like you see heads popping up in dark shades, moving in shallows. And then the glistening 5 back will appear. This is the moment of transition, when they leave the wavelessness of the sea.
