Observation details
Solitary immature frigatebird seen soaring/circling at a considerably great height. Very large shoals of moon fish (Mene maculata) seen in the area, but the bird did not forage or even descend to the surface during the observation period of about 10-15 minutes. The species of this sighted bird was not ascertained even after detailed discussion, but it is believed to be either a Chrtimas Island frigatebird or a Lesser frigatebird.
