| Zusammenfassung: | We report a documented record of a Great Frigatebird Fregata minor at Fernando de Noronha, 360 km off the coast of northeast Brazil in the equatorial Atlantic. We presume that the bird at Fernando de Noronha originated from Trindade Island, c.1,800 km to the south, since it is the species' nearest breeding site, and we hypothesise that it moved with the south-east trade winds towards the north-east Brazilian coast. |
