The Lacepede Islands are just a couple of sand islands in a lovely setting in the Indian Ocean, 70 miles North of Broome. These are full of nesting booby birds, with seagulls & frigate birds hanging around in the hope of a meal in the form of booby chicks. There are also hundreds of turtle nest diggings & at least half a dozen hanging around in a small bay probably waiting for the nighttime high tide to come ashore to lay their eggs. There is a sort of turtle graveyard- complete skeletons of large turtles that didn’t make it back to the sea in time & paid a heavy price. One example is of a turtle that was on top of a booby nest with the skeleton of what seemed to be a booby chick under the turtle skeleton. Cool sunsets with hundreds of birds heading back to roost on Lacepede.
