Notes: Very large, long-winged. Plumage highly variable, but always has white underwings w.
small black tip. Cf Royal Albatross. Huge pinkish bill w. horn-coloured tip. Bill is longer, eye
smaller & crown flatter than New Zealand Wandering Albatross. Breeds locally on remote islands,
but circles the globe on its travels.
