Thank you all so much for the kind words. Halitime, these weren't huge, but still have an impressive wingspan.

Ricardo222 Cream of the Crop  More info | Jul 13, 2012 18:16 | #13 What a great shot. It looks very similar to the Light-mantled sooty albatross, apart from the beak colouration. I had one of those accompany me on a solo trip all the way from south of New Zealand to Cape Horn. He wasn't always in sight but hardly a day went by without him flying by, often stopping to hitch a ride on the back-draft of the head-sails. I watched him for hours and this picture brough back some great memories! Growing old disgracefully!

This was taken just down from you Ricardo, down at Kaikoura on my honeymoon on one of the whale watching trips. Beautiful country you have down there.
