Black-browed Albatross

Black-browed albatross nest of the cliff edges of some of the Falkland Islands, mostly in areas untouched by the sheep.

 

They are monogamous, raising one chick a year. The egg is incubated for 70 days, and the chick fledges at about 120 days.

The mud nests are re-used each year creating a mosaic of mounds all just outside pecking distance of each other.
