| Looks like the Adult white morph Brown Booby |
This is one of my mega lifer of 2026. An invitation to Pulau Perak was send out to my gang when news that this bird was sighted roosting there. It was more than a month then and I was worried the bird may left as it is a vagrant or passage migrant. 
When we reached the rocky faced island at about 5.00pm we were disappointed that the bird was missing at its regular perch. Everyone were gloomy that we may have missed the window to see this rarity vagrant. Then at about 5.45pm Xialim shouted Red-footed it back from its outing. Everybody were alive and shooting at their own pace. The bird was going round and round our boat amongst the other Brown Boobies. I was struggling to shoot it in the air. All blurred in the dusk lighting as the sun setting behind the island.
In the next morning we were hoping to have another session of shooting the bird. Some of us got to shoot it at the perch in the early morning of 6.30am. It flew out to the sea toward the east so early everyone were taken aback wtflower!
