Breeding activity on the Salt Lagoon Islands was surveyed in c. 50 visits between
October 1962 and November 1979. Observations are presented on the timing, abundance
and (in most cases) habitat of the breeding of 26 species of birds, with special attention
to nine species of ardeiformes and four of
Phalacrocorax. Results are given of a three-year
survey of the breeding cycle of the
Phalacrocorax species, and fish samples are described.
Comments are made on the decline in breeding numbers of larger waterbirds.
