Boat to Motu Nui Sooty Tern Nesting Islet – Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
Full SizeWe hired a small boat to spot and photograph the marine birds around Motu Nui Islet that is 1.4km off the coast of the main island. The sea was rough, a heavy swell and the boat was tossed around. Good job we had ponchos and a dry sack for my camera. It was a challenged photographing but we did well with 12 species spotted there.
