Southern Giant Petrel - Macronectes giganteus
Macronectes giganteus - Southern Giant Petrel. Giant petrels are aggressive predators and scavengers, which has led to the other common name they were known as, the Stinker.They look a bit like albatross, except for the tube nostrils on the top of their bill - albatross bills have the two tube nostrils opening seperately, further up. They're still bloody big tho - this geezer has a 2m wingspan!
Another lucky shot - it's almost pin sharp, when I look at it 100%. Settings:
