Black-browed albatrosses (Diomedea melanophris) floating on water. These seabirds are among the smallest of the albatrosses,having a wingspan of around 2 metres. They spend much of their time gliding over the oceans of the sub-Antarctic in search of krill (tiny shrimp),squid and small fish. These albatrosses mate for life. Each breeding pair produces a single chick in a cliff- top nesting colony,on islands in the south Atlantic Ocean. Photographed off the island of South Georgia | |
