Seabirders in South Eastern Australia at least have become increasingly
adept at the identification of subspecies/species of the majority of
albatrosses occuring off these coasts. Provided the criteria that are
being used to ID these forms is correct then ID is usually
straightforward.
Although calling a Tristan Albatross at sea would be an
ambitious call at the moment.
I need 3/24.
Cheers
Phil.
