    Resting Thalassarche type Albatross - Bass Strait, Tasmania

    G'day I photographed this chap close to the Tasmanian coastline in January this year. It was sitting on the water, so I don't have an underwing shot. I'm mystified by the yellow spot back from the end of its bill. Regards, Laurie.

    A bit of an odd shearwater, Western Australia
