Hello and welcome to all new members
We have just returned from a Caribbean cruise. Whilst at sea miles away from land sailing towards Antigua we saw two seabirds which were feeding on flying fish. These birds followed us for ages and I managed to take the attached picture. This bird was about 50 feet from my E20 + Tcon 14B. Can any member help identifying this species for the record.

It looks like Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra). Glen
