That's a wonderful find for you Luis! We hardly ever see pictures coming in for this species.

They have a most unusual name too, I'll have to try and find out how they got it LOL.

A super picture - very well done my friend.

I have photographed oilbirds from that bridge twice. None of mine turned out nearly this good! Fabulous Luis!
