It would definitely be possible. Most likely candidate would be Yellow-nosed
Albatross (race bassi or Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross, depending on whose
taxonomy you follow) as they're generally the commonest albatross off the west
coast.
Shy Albatross & Black-browed Albatross would probably be the next most likely
possibilities.

Subject: Albatross off Canal Rocks - SW W.A.
Was at Canal Rocks near Cape Naturaliste on the 9th. Saw 2 gannets and one far
off bird that looked very much like an albatross, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a
gannet.
Would an albatross in this area be a possibility? And are there any species it
is more likely to be?
Thanks
