Royal Albatross from the gallery - post 4 (1 Viewer)

Dear all,
this species needs to be split in the opus. In that context, I started looking at what we had in the gallery and which could be confirmed to be either northern or southern. Some are already labeled - but do they fit the current criteria? I will link to the last few photos in this post.
