About These Birds

Tristan Albatross

Tristan Albatross, 100–110 cm, wingspan 250–300 cm, breeds only on Gough Island in the South Atlantic — one of the world's most isolated islands. Critically Endangered; mouse predation on eggs and chicks is causing severe decline. Pelagic across the South Atlantic; piscivore and squid feeder.

Light-mantled Albatross

Light-mantled Albatross, 79–89 cm, wingspan 183–218 cm, is perhaps the most graceful albatross: dark chocolate head and wings contrasting with pale grey body and back. Breeds on New Zealand sub-Antarctic islands and other Southern Ocean islands. Soars effortlessly in storm winds. Near Threatened.
