(Kridler) ....Fairy Terns prefer the steep cliffs of the north, east, and west 
sides, and it was very difficult to obtain any reasonable count of 
their numbers. Fairy Terns utilised depressions in the faces of the cliff as well as 
the rocky outcroppings on the south sloping side of the island, clear on up to the 
very top. Within their, nests, if they can be referred to as such, were found eggs 
to young capable of flight.
