    Lovely shot. Interesting common name both for location and colour of 'nose' :) Posted 9 years ago

The Indian yellow-nosed albatross

The Indian yellow-nosed albatross is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks. In 2004, BirdLife International split this species from the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross; however Clements has not split it yet, and the SACC has not either, but recognises the need for a proposal.
