Black-browed albatross
Black-browed albatross (Diomedea melanophris) flying over waves. This bird is one of the smallest of the albatrosses, having a wingspan of around 2 metres. It spends much of its time gliding over sub-Antarctic waters in search of krill (tiny shrimp), squid and small fish. The black-browed albatross mates for life. Each breeding pair produces a single chick in a cliff- top nesting colony, on islands in the south Atlantic Ocean. Photographed off the island of South Georgia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the graceful flight of a Black-browed albatross, soaring effortlessly over the rolling waves. Despite being one of the smallest members of its species, this magnificent bird boasts an impressive wingspan of approximately 2 meters. Its preferred habitat lies in the sub-Antarctic waters where it spends most of its time gliding in search of nourishment such as krill, squid, and small fish. Known for their lifelong partnerships, these black-browed albatrosses are committed to their chosen mate. Each breeding pair establishes a solitary cliff-top nesting colony on islands scattered throughout the south Atlantic Ocean. It is within these colonies that they raise a single chick with utmost dedication and care. The photograph was taken off the coast of South Georgia Island, situated in the southern reaches of the Atlantic Ocean. The image perfectly encapsulates not only the bird's elegant flight but also showcases its connection to both land and sea. With every beat of its powerful wings against an awe-inspiring backdrop of crashing waves, this black-browed albatross symbolizes freedom and resilience amidst nature's vast expanse. This stunning visual representation serves as a reminder that our world is filled with remarkable creatures whose existence deserves our admiration and protection.
