Grey-headed albatross
Thalassarche chrysostomaThe grey-headed albatross has a wide circumpolar distribution. There are approximately 7,000 pairs breeding annually in New Zealand, on Campbell Island. These birds comprise less than 7% of the global population of breeding pairs. This species bears some resemblance to the Buller's albatross, and some misidentifications at sea might be expected.
