Day 2
Lacepede Islands, Australia, Australia
A special visit awaits you today on this chain of four flat coral islands, home to tens of thousands of seabirds with over 50 bird species including red-chested frigate birds, crested terns, pelicans, and speckled ruddy turnstones. Having eradicated the rats in 1986, these treeless islands are once again a wildlife haven. It's a significant nesting site for an estimated 18,000 pairs of brown-footed boobies, possibly the largest colony in the world, and 20,000 roseate terns have been recorded on this A-class nature reserve. Further, it's Western Australia's most important breeding habitat for green turtles and where thousands of humpback whales come to calve. Frequent sightings are possible between July and September when an estimated 40,000 humpback whales migrate between Antarctica and Western Australia.
