Pitti
Pakshipitti or Pitti-island is an uninhabited coral islet in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India. It is located at about 24 km to the north of Kavaratti, 37 km to the east of Agatti and 42.5 km to the SSW of Amini Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lakshadweep - Pitti )〕 The island is low and arid and, lacking adequate anchorage points, of difficult accessibility. There is another island with the same name in Lakshadweep which is part of the Kalpeni Atoll.
Pakshipitti or Pitti-island is 300 x 200 m in size and devoid of vegetation. There is a dark rock on the eastern side and several stone cairns.
==Ecology==
Pakshipitti, ''pakshi'' meaning "bird" in Malayalam and Tamil, owing to the pelagic birds nesting on it, such as the sooty tern (''Sterna fuliginosa''), the greater crested tern (''Sterna bergii'') and the brown noddy (''Anous stolidus''). The birds nest side by side, but not intermixed, on the dry coral rubble. There is a seasonal pattern in the breeding period of the birds. Since it has no protecting reef surrounding it, the islet is periodically rinsed by wave action and there is no accumulation of guano on it.
