The Waved Albatross 'Phoebastria irrorata' (life list addition) is an impressive seabird. It has a wingspan of 2.36 meters (7.7feet) and weighs 3-4 kg (6.6-8.8 lbs).

The Waved Albatross has traditionally bred only on Isla Española, Galapagos (i.e. endemic to the Galapagos) but a few pairs have started to breed on Isla La Plata off the coast of Ecuador.

Image created on Apr 17, 2019 at Punta Suarez, Isla Española, Galapagos, Ecuador.

There was a distracting blur of a distant out of focus bird in the frame so I removed it in Photoshop as this was the only image I had of the bird in flight with an open bill.
