frigatebird

Description:

Frigatebirds are large, with iridescent black feathers (the females have a white underbelly), with long wings (male wingspan can reach 2.3 metres) and deeply-forked tails. The males have inflatable red-coloured throat pouches called "gular pouches", which they inflate to attract females during the mating season.

Habitat:

Frigatebirds are pelagic piscivores and are found over tropical oceans.

Notes:

This spotting is of a male.
