Crested Terns roosted throughout the year on both islets, but mainly on Seal Rock, usually as a single aggregation and often with White-fronted Terns. On Seal Rock their numbers varied erratically from less than 50 to more than 500, and in general the largest flocks occurred in late spring and summer.
