Black-Browed Albatross
No I haven't been to the south Atlantic - this was taken off Bempton Cliffs on a boat trip (Yorkshire Coast Nature) in the summer. It was certainly a matter of right place, right time. Amazing to view the bird up close as we had seen it perched on the cliffs from a great distance.
Albie is "thought to be the only albatross of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere...
This magnificent long-distance traveller from the south Atlantic, with a wingspan of over 2.4m, has been living in the Baltic Seas around Denmark and Germany since 2014 after being blown off course from the South Atlantic oceans. It has remained in the Baltic area ever since, making occasional forays across the North Sea to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, near Flamborough, East Yorkshire, where it was first spotted in the summer of 2017."
