Sharon Jones, Red-tailed Tropicbirds (ANIMAL 2022)

Red-tailed tropicbirds breed in the cliffs of Lord Howe Island. Climb to the top of the cliffs and you find them wheeling through the air both above and below you, or headed straight for you as they come in to land at a nest. Initially the birds look white, but look closer and you find they are a delicate pink.
