Description
Wandering Albatross, Kaikoura, New Zealand.
I sat in a tiny boat for many hours off the Kaikoura Coast in New Zealand waiting for these spectacular Wandering Albatross to arrive..and they did. They appeared from nowhere, expertly swooping around me with their giant 8-10 foot wingspan. The landing procedure left a lot to be desired as they fell out of the sky, landed on the water with a very undignified splash, wings flailing around and the odd irritated squawk.
