About A number of albatross were circling the ship en-route to Kerguelen and as the sea was a bit rough it made it doubly difficult to get a sharp capture! I hope it's not too bad though :)

Steve, yeah they were really cool to watch. They would circle and glide for hours around the ship and barely flap their wings once! I think the ones following our ship were quite young because I'd estimate the wing span of the larger ones to be about 1.5-2.0M. Black brow albatross can grow up to a 2.5M wing span! Wandering albatross which we also saw can have a wingspan up to 3.5M (the largest wingspan of any bird)!!!

And no, that day I didn't 'deposit my breakfast over the camera'. I was on the Scopolamine by then (best stuff I've ever had for sea-sickness).

Fabulous capture Andy, pleased you didn't deposit your breakfast over the camera ..... on this occasion at least lol

What an incredible sight this must have been, the wingspan must have been massive !

Best wishes,
Steve
