One of the two species found on Tern Island is the Laysan Albatross. One of the four species known as the North Pacific Albatrosses, it is also the commoner and less endangered species in its genus. It is also a very attractive bird, as I hope you will agree.

The Brown-eared Bulbul is quite common in Japan but much less so in Shanghai. Apparently, in Japan some bird watchers do not particularly like bulbuls as they scare the other species away – here, being a single individual, this bulbul did not dare to bully any other species.
