I can't recall that anyone else has commented on this, but I reckon you're right Peter. I paddled by there approx 7.15pm today but didn't have time to land. There were hundreds of birds including many in situ on the ground, looking very much like they were "on". I saw one downy chick and many young juveniles. While they were not actually swooping, the birds were raucous and hovering over me as I paddled by. Hopefully I'll get a chance for a closer look between now and the weekend, but in my (non) expert opinion I'd say there was a major breeding event in progress.

Cheers

Rod
