Comment | There was some excitement aboard the Southern Explorer when this albatross was spotted on the water during a pelagic trip from Port Fairy. The experts agreed that it is a rare hybrid between Black-browed Albatross and Grey-headed Albatross. It is almost certainly the same individual that was seen on 6th April 2008, also off Port Fairy, and in May 2012 off Port MacDonnell, South Australia. In 2008 seabird expert Rohan Clarke provided a detailed analysis of the bird’s appearance that supports the conclusion of a Black-browed / Grey-headed cross. http://www.pbase.com/wildlifeimages/port_fairy_albatross This hybrid bird was clearly smaller overall than the other Black-browed Albatross around the boat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
