The Pitcairn Islands lie in the centre of the the Pacific Ocean where the deeper water is so blue you'd think someone had tipped blue poster paint in the water, at the shallows and nearer the paradise sands, the water becomes a magical turquoise. All around are many beautiful birds fitting this glorious marine-scape, including these pure white Tropicbirds. I was fortunate enough to capture one as it flew right over where I'd trained camera & lens. @pitcairnislandstourism
