Dan asked about the frequency of Chatham Albatross T. c. eremita in
Australian waters. HANZAB vol.1 (1990) described them as 'occasional' off SE
Australia. Back in the 1960/70's Peter Lansley, Geoff Price & I saw an adult
from Cape Schanck, a headland in central Victoria and I photographed a
sub-adult from a fishing boat off Eden in southern NSW. Around that time an
adult was living in the colony of Shy Albatross T. c. cauta on Albatross
Island off NW Tasmania in Bass Strait. I seem to recall another that was
seen on a Portland pelagic.
