Birding in French Polynesia XXIV
24 January 2026
Over the next 28 days, I will be spending my time birding on Tahiti and Mo'orea, two islands in the Windward Islands, an archipelago belonging to French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France. Birds in italics indicate lifers.

Today, with the near-constant showers gone, we went to the beach in the morning, where we saw a few Picasso Triggerfish, and, a highlight for me (no one else saw it), a Green Sea Turtle. I felt honoured to be able to see such an amazing species. I managed to also get an audio recording of Brown Noddy, since there is a tree near our house, where they nest.
