Hi Phil,

I'm not sure if anyone has replied to you, so I've sent this to the list as well.

I have a copy of Nelson's/The Sulidae - Gannets and Boobies, /which//gives the mean of the wing for Abbot's Booby as Male - 449mm and Female 461mm.

He devotes about 50 pages to Abbot's Booby, so let me know if you need anything further.

Cheers,
Brook

A left-field query here- I have been going over my final drafts of the 
long-gestating New Guinea Field Guide and found I'd omitted Abbot's Booby which 
is a vagrant to W Papua. Now I have the account written, BUT, I am unable to 
find the wingspan. It's the largest of the family, I have length of 79 cm and 
weight, but no-one has wingspan- not HBW, not HANZAB, not Seabirds 
Photographic, not BirdLife fact sheet- any ideas?
Thanks
Phil Gregory
