Observation details
Apparent first-ever sighting in ABC islands. Adult in breeding plumage photographed and observed for two hours, repeatedly flying low over pond and dipping bill to feed. Chased away larger laughing gulls, common terns and gull-billed terns. Also landed and waded four times, each for 5-10 minutes before resuming feeding flight. During two of these intervals, magnificent frigatebirds were in feeding zone.
