Black Browed Mollymawk

This beautiful bird has been bought to my friend at Bird Rescue. He had been found in a garden after having been blown off course by our heavy southerly winds yesterday. He is a juvenile-probably from this season's nesting.What an amazing joy and privilege to see it close up.She will feed it up and let it go asap.
The black-browed albatross is a medium-sized albatross, at 80 to 95 cm (31–37 in) long with a 200 to 240 cm (79–94 in) wingspan and an average weight of 2.9 to 4.7 kg (6.4–10.4 lb).[3] It can have a natural lifespan of over 70 years. Juveniles have dark horn-colored bills with dark tips.
