Day 525: March 9, 2026 – Somewhere in the Tasman Sea, between NZ and Australia
I love it when I don’t even have to leave home, to add a lifer to my bird list. I was eating breakfast in the ship cafe on a sea day when I noticed albatrosses swirling around us. I already had several albatross species on my life list, but this was a new one: White-capped Albatross. And just like that, another bird landed on my life list!

Love the top and bottom view.
It took me quite a bit of patient waiting to capture both sides.
what a magnificent bird!!!!!!!!
He’s gorgeous 🤩
Yes he is. Albatrosses in general are pretty impressive creatures, but this one was extra-pretty.

Look how BIG he is. Have you seen the old movie The Starling with Kevin Kline and Melissa McCarthy? So lovely
