Content preview: Hi Mick, Â Thanks for your Port Stephens Pelagic 10 August
trip report on the SOSSA website.
http://www.sossa-international.org/forum/content.php?699
 The photos of the Shy type albatross are very interesting. In the text
you wrote it was first thought to be a candidate Salvin's but is now Â
"considered
to be a Shy-type (most likely a cauta) with very dark primaries". Â I agree
this is not a Salvin's because the head and mantle are not grey enough and
the there is too much contrast in the bill pattern. I would say it is not
a cauta either but almost certainly a steadi (or White-capped Albatross)
the NZ subspecies of Shy that breeds on the Auckland Islands. The main ID
feature is the fresh juvenile plumage at this time of year. Tasmanian Shy
Albatross (cauta)Â fledge in April, and by August they are showing signs
of wear and moult. Conversely, steadi fledge in August and arrive off the
NSW coast immediately. Quite a few juvenile steadi have dark underside to
the primaries like this, but I'm not sure that cauta ever shows such dark
primaries.  Over the last few years steadi juveniles have been much more
common than cauta juveniles on Sydney pelagic and Halicat whalewatching
trips.
Until August, most shy-types are adults, whilst juveniles (which must be
cauta) are rare, and older immatures are even rarer. from August onwards
fresh juveniles outnumber worn juveniles by maybe 3 or 4 to 1. Â Just about
all the adults off Sydney might be steadi . For a couple of years I've been
looking for an adult with a yellow flush at the base of the culminicorn,
but haven't seen one. It seems this character is diagnostic of cauta and
never occurs in steadi. I understand that in Tasmanian seas the presumed
cauta show this year-round, although I havenâ??t been down that way inÂ
about
2 decades. Â Unless cauta can lose that yellow flush when they leave the
breeding seas, nearly all the adults off Sydney must be steadi. [...]
