Grey-headed Albatross, effortlessly overhauling the ship in a headwind.
IUCN Endangered. The main threat is accidental catch on hooks from long-line vessels. Using “hook pods” reduces the risk, but they are yet to be universally adopted.

Macaroni Penguin.
Not the best photo, though it’s surprisingly hard to get a photo of a porpoising penguin.
They seem to hunt quite far from shore upto 300km and can dive to 80m.

The only weight around my neck was a camera and binoculars, the Albatrosses lightened the load…
Two of many Wandering Albatross seen on @BirdLife_SA’s #FlocktoMarion. Thanks to @mark_vulture and team!
Superb birds that can live to >25 and cover 8.5 million km in a lifetime

The Southern Ocean is proving to be pretty exciting. Loads of birds and whales. Weather from fairly warm and calm to cold and gale force. The specks are Albatross #FlocktoMarion #roaring40s #albatross

Sooty Albatross.
Admittedly not a great photo, but a rare bird, endangered and <25,000 left.
Seen near Marion Island

A very long but very enjoyable day of birding on board the Flock to Marion ship. Wandering Albatrosses, Sooty Albatrosses, White-chinned Petrels and another Barau’s Petrel!
