Hi all, the photograph Rob is referring to is an adult Chatham Island Albatross not an immature Shy Albatross as it is labelled. It was a single bird that returned to Albatross Island off Tasmania several years in a row mingling with the nesting Shy Albatross. Thats what I heard anyway. The photo is on page 126 of the 1986 Photographic Idex of Australian Birds- Seabirds volume. The mystery albatross photographed by Brent Stephenson off Kaikoura looks like fresh adult Salvin's Albatross to me.
