Few from the last weekend. Still not confident to post on this treat but let's try:unsure:!
First two - red-tailed Tropicbird. The rest is the Red-billed Tropicbird. I'm going to repeat this exercise until I get a really good photo of the Red-billed (there is no waranty it will come again next year...). DSC_5961_DxO.jpgDSC_5962_DxO.jpgDSC_5939_DxO.jpgDSC_5948_DxO.jpg

Sorry, it never turned face to me (I mean the Red-tail)... With the Red-bill it's even more complicated: for ~2h it came once around and you catch what you can...
Indeed... First picture gives a very nice view of the bird slowing down for landing - but indeed pity that the head / eyes are not visible... as you note, you take what you can and be happy with it, especially if it is such a rare occasion.
Second picture shows the birds eye stripe very nicely, and the extended tail waiving behind the bird - quite a sight :)!
