One of the birds I was really hoping to see, but without expectation, was Magnificent Frigatebird. A huge hulking pirate somehow managing to carry the grace of a Red Kite. Anyway, I didn't need to hope too much, they were on just about every island we visited and often the first bird I saw as we approached the dock. Not that I got any particularly good shots with my point and shoot bridge.
Frigatebird. Magnificent.
Without really trying, I managed to point the camera at quite a few birds and think I've identified them all correctly ...... here's a small selection in no particular order.
