Observation details
:) Light fog in the area and intermittent rain. Bird flew in from the North just off the water trailing a GBBG. Landed briefly and then flew a large figure 8 coming very close to my position. Landed on Parliament Rock where it sat for an hour preening. Subsequently flew around the area successfully fishing. Eventually flew around the corner towards Duncan's Cove beyond the fenced area. Gannet like in shape but with broader wings, very different coloration and facial features. Dark brown back and white under, big bright yellow feet, pinkish bill transitioning to white face with big black eye patches.
