'Frigatebirds have the largest wingspan to body weight ratio of any bird and for this reason they do not swim and are essentially aerial. They will chase and attack poor Boobies forcing the Boobies to disgorge the fish they have caught. Being agile fliers, the Frigates are then able to catch the food on the fly or pick it up as soon as it hits the water, avoiding wetting their large wings with what can only be described as mesmerising skill.'
