There are birds behind fences BUT, I traveled at the beginning of may, and there were THOUSANDS of nesting birds, out in the open, in accessible canopies and trees, free, and easily available to any lens, from arms' length away to high in the tree topes. The PERFECT time to see sea birds nesting and fledging.
