Of all the albatross that call Macca home, the Light-Mantled Sooty Albatross is definitely the most beautiful. They nest on the steep slopes and wait for their partner to arrive, fly around in a paired formation and then settle down to business.
These photos are taken from around North Head and I had a lovely little sleep on the side of the hill after watching the birds.
