Description

Spotted a large log that turned into an albatross when we got closer.

Obviously enjoying the Tohe as it stayed put when I went to get photos.

I have tentatively given this the ID of Antipodean albatross as from NZbirdsonline ID system this is the only one that lives within this area (30 - 50 degrees north-south and here is 34 degrees).

Or it could be Gibson's albatross (Diomedea antipodensis gibsoni)

Find of the day and this is what you missed out on @rongoa :D
