Wetlands, migrants and seabirds
Shy Albatross
Thalassarche cauta
In focus
Carried by the ocean wind
The Shy Albatross is a master of ocean flight, travelling on long wings that carry it close above the waves. A pale body and dark upperwings give this seabird an elegant outline. Seen in southern Australian waters and off the south-east coast, it brings an ocean perspective to Australia’s birdlife.
Where to look
Southern Australian seas and south-eastern coastal waters.
