Also French Colour-banded albatrosses

[Peter Milburn <>]

It should be noted that the French have putting colour bands on 
Black-browed Albatross at Isles Kergeulen for a number of years and 
these occur east of Wollongong NSW.  New Zealand researchers have 
been colour banding Gibson's and Antipodean Albatrosses using a 
particular colour for each annual cohort.
I don't know how the French or NZ Darvic bands would differ from the 
British so very careful observation and accurate recording of detail 
would appear to be required.
