This bird was found on the beach at Narooma, NSW. I'm assuming it is an albatross, a juvenile? Would be grateful for identification.
Bridges, I thought that I needed new glasses, but then see that your pic is 2.68kb, any larger pic avaialble?
If not my very rough suggestin would be Wandering Albatross, juvenile but that is a small pic

Yes, thank you pacman - I am hopeless at understanding kbs and other things. I will try a bigger photo.
Bridges
It's not a Wandering Albatross.
Pale greyish bill & narrow black margin to underwing, my guess would be Shy Albatross?
Perhaps a museum would be interested in this specimen?
Thank you SteveM - I will pass on your identification. And zosterops - unfortunately we did not find the body.
