Got a FB message from kmike saying that a Frigatebird had wandered into the waters between Lantau and Peng Chau on the morning of Tropical Storm Nuri.

Unfortunately by the time I got out with my camera it wasn't still on the Peng Chau side of the waters and had moved to the north side of the Island. Finally spotted it "dancing" over Disneyland. Long shots on a grey morning with passing quick showers.

Thanks! I saw another one in February 2019 in Central over Victoria Harbour:-

Looks like a juvenile Lesser? Has anyone tried to pin it down to a species? I see the other two are vagrants anyway.
