Shy Albatross

The Shy Albatross is almost a metre tall and has a wingspan of over two metres. It is a magnificent flyer, gliding for months at a time above the southern oceans, where it feeds on squid and fish. The Shy Albatross is a typical mollymawk with dark plumage on its back, upperwing and tail and a white belly, neck and underwing. Its crown and most of its head is also white, but it has a dark eyebrow and pale grey on the face. Its bill is pale grey with a yellow ridge and tip. Officially listed as vulnerable
