(S)he is a little special, I think. Her parents are quite hostile towards her.
Loudly introduced herself in about March this year with half a toe missing and a droopy wing.
Recently she has taken to wandering in to the house and warbling, screaming and pee-weeing at enormous volume in enclosed space.
Yes, I know you’re not meant to feed them. She only gets one dog food pellet thing in the morning and one on the afternoon. She’s not dependant and is able to hunt and forage, albeit hilariously incompetently.
#Shy Albatross- Philip Island. OK, Saturday after a few solid days of grandchild minding(which we both love but let’s not pretend it ain’t full on) and it’s cold and the wind is howling so forget the Dandenongs, the original target, and it’s off to Phillip Island where the birds revel in hard conditions. Been here a few times but never when it was this windy, literally blowing us off our feet on the boardwalk. Through some fluke of nature BH managed to capture this Shy Albatross in focus and at a considerable distance, first time she’s ever got one in focus she told me with glee.
Curious that the bird at considerable distance and in the gale over the ocean is photographed more clearly than the one sitting still in shelter a couple of feet away…
