Bird Island
Must be mating season - I've never seen this many of these birds here. I think they are herons, but I'm not sure.

Looks like quite the place to visit. Are the steps where the boats land?
Martie: Martin - I did not give this photo a good title. This little island is only a short swim from the shore. I don't know why the steps are there -- I think because folks swim out there to explore the caves. On the morning I took the photo there were so many of these birds. Usually there are only one or two. I didn't mean to mislead!!
I was once attacked by small birds for trying to photography them during the breeding season. They were just protecting their offspring
Beautiful location probably a cave, hope you will show us more images from this location
Martie: It's great you are so understanding of the attach -- I hope I would be too! Yes, that is a little cave, and yes I will be sharing some more of this in the future. Thanks for your comment!
Beautiful shot Martie. It seems to be quite a peaceful and serene place!
Martie: Thanks Richard. You are correct - it is a very serene place. Even the birds were silent this day.
wonderful ! very nice shot and beauty capture ... i like it , thanks.
Martie: Helma - thank you so much!
Now that looks like a place that could be good to explore, dark(ish) and mysterious.
I wonder if the birds are cranes?
Martie: You may well be correct about these birds being cranes, Ellie. I don't know about exploring the caves tho. I stay away from them (and the jungle). We have habu snakes here, which are a type of viper AND they are very aggressive!!
Not sure about herons Martie, they don't look big enough.
Nice shot
Martie: Tracy - you are probably correct. I really don't know what they are -- but it's fun watching them!
the entire compo is divine, way to go Martie, first class photo, love it
Martie: Thank Lorraine! Do you have that new computer yet??
Ginnie would know if they were cranes
Martie: Hum.... Sounds a bit like a private joke! Thanks for the comment. Ginnie - are you the bird expert??
Funny to see these birds around the hole in the rock..Just as if the were awaiting for somebody !
Martie: Yes - it did look like they were waiting! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I like the white birds that are randomly placed in the pic
Martie: Thanks Aksel. It was unusual to have so many of them there.
Nice shot Martie, such a beautiful and quite plac.
Martie: Thanks! It was very quiet that morning. Just the sounds of the waves...
serene,soothing...
How cool!! I first saw this on the thumbnails and didn't even notice the birds. What caught my attn was how the rock wall looks like a man screaming!
