About the flag

A golden frigatebird flies over a rising sun above blue and white waves, a design based on the islands’ colonial coat of arms that shows a nation of ocean and sunshine near the equator.

How to spot it: Red top with a yellow bird over a yellow rising sun, and wavy blue and white stripes across the bottom half.
