White-tailed Tropicbird

Phaethon lepturus ascensionis
Ilhéu Caroço, Príncipe, São Tomé and Príncipe - 23 september 2017
We spent a day circumnavigating Príncipe island. Good numbers of Sooty Terns, Black and Brown Noddies and Brown Boobies were encountered. The real price was to get close views of the Tropicbirds at the islet of Ilhéu Caroço, where the total population of an endemic subspecies of Príncipe Seedeater are.
