Frigatebird

Hi all, Sorry for the delay in replying to your requests for help. In my opinion this is a Great Frigatebird, most likely of the western Indian Ocean subspecies Fregata minor aldabrensis. An illustrated explanation of my reasons is attached in a word document. Cheers,David James,Sydney ==============================
