The bird is a nestling/fledgling Brown Booby. We saw plenty that look just
like this sitting on the rocks when we visited Christmas Island 18 months
ago. Abbotts Boobies look quite different & the nesting areas are in the
rainforest rather than the coastal volcanic rock areas, so even if one fell
from the nest I don't think it would end up in an area like this.

Looks like a Red-footed that's been incorrectly labeled.

Frankly I'm amazed any decisions in favour of the environment are made
these days.
