Media notes
Multiple birds roosting on railing and flying to and from the roosting spot.
Observation details
As close to exact count as I could be when counting this many roosting birds. They were roosting on overwater bungalow railings. Roosting Brown Noddies were a constant presence during our stay. They preferred the railings towards the seaward ends of the overwater bungalow boardwalks. Description wise, both adult and subadult birds. Adults had overall brownish color that was noticeable lighter than wing tip color when perched; gray foreheads / crown in which the brightest color extended from beak to somewhere around the eye. Young birds had browner heads.
