Hi Dimitris,
If it was a 3rd year Campbell Albatross it should already have amber eyes and a
more pronounced eye brow than a Black-brow of the same age. Looking at the eye
brow of your bird, I'd say Black-brow rather than Campbell. The eye colour at
close range and good light would certainly help. The 'hairy armpits' are only
useful in older subadult and in adult birds.
Cheers,
Nikolas

Thanks all.
Black-browed it is. Is there a way to tell BB from Cambells with views like
this? I thought you needed to see the pale eyes and none of the adults that
have come close (and a fair few do) have had pale eyes.
Stewart I am on holiday :).

Hello all,
I'd appreciate input on this bird:
http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php%3Ft%3D235735";>http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=235735
I think it's a third yo and is either a Black-browed or Grey-headed Albatross.
I saw it today of the far south coast of NSW.
Thanks in advance.
