| Comment | Shy/White-capped Albatross Scientific Name = Thalassarche cauta Wingspan = 2.0 - 2.6m Conservation Status = Vulnerable This bird is technically a White-capped Albatross as there is no yellow at the base of the bill. However, I have accepted both Shy and White-capped as correct answers as both Pizzey & Knight and The Australian Bird Guide group these species. The Salvin’s Albatross is distinguishable from the Shy by the bill. The bill is an olive-ish shade with a stripe on the upper mandible ranging from white to yellow in colour. It also has a dark spot at the end of the bill. The Grey-headed Albatross has a yellow stripe on the upper mandible and part of the lower with a pink tip. Some identifying features for the Shy are: - Grey face wash, giving a white cap and cheeks - Grey mantle - Black ‘notch’ at base of wings - Yellow bill tip - Thin black eyebrow - Thin black underwing margins | ||||||||||||||||||
