This (admittedly very bad and heavily cropped) picture was taken in the early morning of august the 23rd near Ankobra rivermouth in southwestern Ghana. The bird soared for a few minutes over the beach and then disappeared southwards.
Since no frigatebirds appear in checklists of Ghana available online, I think the sighting could be of some interest.
My best guess is Ascension Frigatebird (Fregata aquila), that would also be the likeliest - or the least unlikely - frigatebird species in the Gulf of Guinea. Am I right?
