Endemic to Christmas Island and despite seeing and photographing so many different birds, I was pleased to of seen these. Much the same as the White-tailed Tropic Bird, but a sub species with distinct golden colours. They stand out very boldly against the blue skies, almost glowing. Not necessarily the best bird shots I got on the island, but so glad to of seen some of these beauties
