Hi Chris,
"How long is a piece of string"....
Albatross Taxonomy now there's an interesting topic!!
I think most agree that it would be Shy, though some would split off
"White-capped" T. Steadi - even Pizzey!! But C&B and IOC have them both
under Shy.
Cheers mate
I thought there for a moment you got one in Alice!!

I know taxonomy is in constant flux but does anyone know what I saw when I
was on a boat trip off South Bruny Island, Tasmania in January this year? It
was what I would call a Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta) but several
references disagree with me. I'm just having trouble working out which
authority to go by.
Can anyone fill me in with the excepted position on the taxonomy of these
birds as it stands?
Cheers,
Chris Watson
