There are sunset drinks on the beach, watching brown boobies and other seabirds swoop overhead, followed by moonlit strolls around the 800 metre-long island looking for nesting turtles.Nights are spent listening to the cacophonous wailing of the wedge-tailed shearwaters, and 120,000-odd black noddy terns that nest each spring in the pisonia trees covering the island.
