birds 
Blue-gray Noddy ( Procelsterna caerulea ) 
Current 1tatus : Regular visitor in small numbers 
Prior Records.: Donaghho (1952) reported t at he only saw one in July 1938. 
Munro (1944) stated Kinnej found the s, ;cies present in 1939 but was able to 
and band only one individual. 
Pol ulation: The species has been seen on every PGBSP visit to Ender-bury always 
in the vicinity of the central lagoon. From one. to 15 birds were seen on each 
o. 
le seven visits and there seems to be no seasonal pattern of occurrence 
They probably wasader to the island from Phoenzb: Island 40 miles southeast 
of Enderbuiy. 
The scant prior records do not indicate any differences in abundance 
between the l%te 1930 ? s and 1963 to 1965.
