Off shore

I was on a fishing trip this morning off the coast of Omarau and we got visited by a couple of albatrosses who had come to investigate what we where up to.
More likely they where looking for an easy feed.
They really are big birds and you cant fully appreciate the shear size of them until you are up close to them. They seem quite content to watch what was going on and wait for the right moment to make their move.
Their main competitor is the Molly Hawk which is about 2/3 of their size . ( see my extra photo )
