Southern Royal Albatross Diomedea epomophora (9)

IUCN Red list status: Vulnerable
(Witvlerkkoningalbatros)

Experiences with species

I had seen Northern Royal at their breeding grounds near Dunedin. I really wanted to see one of the white-backed Albatrosses in Southern African waters, so got on a pelagic in August to hopefully be out at sea at the best possible time. I've seen them a few times since then.
