Grey-headed Albatross (Thalassarche chrysostoma, Diomedea chrystoma)

I have been away from BF for a while due to pressure of work, so apologies for lack of feedback on others' photos.

I was recently looking through the shots I took on my trip to the South Atlantic earlier this year, and noticed this one of a Grey-headed Albatross that I had not noticed before. It was one of a number of birds that were following the ship, mostly Black-browed and Wandering Albatrosses and I did not pick up on this one at the time. It was the only one I saw and I only managed a couple of quick but fortuitous shots. They breed on South Georgia and then are the nost pelagic of the Mollymawks, which makes them very vulnerable to the lon-liner fishing vessels that work in the deep southern oceans.

There is only one other photo of this species in the BF Gallery.
