Black-browed mollymawk
The black-browed mollymawk is a medium-sized black-and-white mollymawk with an estimated global population of 3 million individuals, making it the world’s most numerous 'albatross' species. About 70% breed at the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) in colonies of up to 100,000 pairs. The New Zealand breeding population is tiny in comparison. Birds are often seen in Cook Strait and off Kaikoura Peninsula. After breeding, birds disperse widely around the Southern Ocean and into temperate seas in the South Pacific, South Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
