Sea birds of Thonga Beech Mazengwenya ZA (1 Viewer)

[Andy Hurley]

I have a few photos of sea birds taken from the shore at Thonga beach, Mazengwenya not far from Lake Sibaya (Sibhayi) in KwaZulu Natal South Africa from June 2019. I would appreciate your help in identifying them, if possible... They are all heavily cropped

Many thanks

The last 2 were on one photo but far apart

Thanks Joern, I thought they were either that or Black browed Albatross

Deffo not an albatross: many things wrong for that. Cape gannet most likely option I guess. Otherwise, if not that pics remind of booby sp.

I presume they’re all Cape Gannet as well. No Booby spp expected there I don’t think.
