Gary King, Red Streaming Tails (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

The Red-tailed Tropicbird spends most of its time at sea soaring over the ocean looking for food. In flight their two red streaming tail feathers usually appear as one. Every now and then they come into land on a cliff-face and spread their wings. The two streamers are now clearly visible. After a short break it is then off to the ocean again.
