Wildlife on land includes crabs (fiddler crabs with red or blue claws), geckos (beige lizards) and birds. The most common species are common terns, grey herons and frigate birds. The best time to bird watch is in the morning, on the banks of the lagoon where the coral reefs are closest to the shore: the Malé atoll is an excellent point from which to watch most of the species.
