Could this be Wandering albatross? (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
These are taken in December in Beagle Channel near Monte Darwin.

It's far away and not clear. One person on boat said it's Wandering albatross given the wingspan.

Is it possible?

Thanks

You have two different birds there, obviously. The dark one is a giant petrel species (there are two very similar ones) and the second is an albatross but I would guess at Black-browed, which is common in the Beagle Channel.
