Soaring Wanderer (Diomedea antipodensis)

During a Pelagic trip in Kaikoura, New Zealand, this guy was hanging behind the boat.
In Kaikoura you can see all kinds of seabirds at very close distance. This one, for example, bit me in my finger, when I was trying how close I could get. They bite hard :(!!

nice one! Brings back memories of my own trip there a few years ago. Shame about cropping the wingtips though...
