The Kaikoura pelagics always pick up a good range of Albatross and Shearwater species. This is the Gibson’s Wandering Albatross, the one most commonly found in NZ waters. There is a lot of confusion over the “Wandering” Albatross species. The Antipodean Albatross is very rare in NZ waters, as is the much paler Snowy Albatross – all of which are generically referred to as “Wandering”.
