Wild Bird Wednesday 347 - Masked Booby

A very brief post this week - I have a few technological issues here - basically I have a rather ill computer, which I hope to fix soon!

So, here are some pictures of Masked Boobies (Sula dactylatra) loafing about on some rock near Balls Pyramid, south of LHI.

I was not able to get are really close up images of these birds, but as I have never posted any pictures of this species, these are the best I have!

    Great species to observe, Stewart. And I think you are being a little harsh on yourself. The pictures are pretty decent.

    These birds are amazing. Anytime you get to see them out in the field, it's a good day! Congrats!

    Well Stewart Although my thumb nail photo is there when I try to click it is still says The site is non private. I just want to know if when you clock it can you get through to my site without doing anything else. I do not know what else to do to get this to work and I think if I cannot link it in, i will need to bow out gracefully from the meme. I also notice that Travels with Birds is in the same position. I know this is NOT your fault. This is a lovely bird that you photographed in this post. Thanks for hosting all these past years since i joined your meme and hope you have a good week ahead.

    I would be very happy if I had taken those photos, it would also mean I would be near the sea and might get some other interesting photos as well 😊 Have a great week, cheers Diane

    I had trouble getting shots of island rookeries in Alaska, as the water was rough and we could not move very close to them. Your photos are great even at a distance!

    They remind me of the Northern gannet.
