The Common Noddies at Michaelmas Cay are trusting and you can almost pat
them.

Hi all. Have just spent easter down at fingal beach on the tweed coast. On
saturday i was surfing and ended up getting swept a fair way down the beach.
As i was paddling back in i saw a brown tern like bird standing on the beach
and went to investigate, as it turns out it was a common noddy. I didnt have
my bins on me at the time so i slowly walked up to the bird and not a word
of a lie ended up sitting beside it! As i sat down the bird shuffled its
feet a bit but after a couple of seconds settled down and seamed not at all
worried a human was sitting about a metre away. Has anyone else had
experiences with sea birds being so trusting? Also can anyone tell me if
this is a rare sighting in that neck of the woods. I would not have expected
to find a common noddy that far south and it was a welcome tick. Regards
John.
