About These Birds

Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross
Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross, 71–81 cm, wingspan 180–200 cm, breeds on Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island. Slender yellow culminicorn on dark bill; grey head, white body. Forages across the South Atlantic. Endangered; bycatch in longline fisheries remains a major threat.
