Observation details
Was scanning for Buller’s Shearwater and Arctic Jaeger at 3.45pm when spotted a gigantic dark bird with deep wingbeat heading from south to north near Te Haruhi Bay. Qin Huang quickly got a photo. White ‘armpits’ indicate Lesser Frigatebird. Light, rather than ‘rusty’, head indicates immature.
