A very well focused and detailed flight shot, Andy.

Great shot for reference source - clear view of underwing and of course the black mask and especially the deep yellow bill base which distinguishes them from the very similar Nazca Booby!

A super triple fly by image of these Masked Boobies and beautifully captured.
