Of the 22 different species, the black browed albatross is considered medium sized by albatross standards. The largest albatrosses have a wingspan of 11 feet. The black browed variety only gets to about 8 feet. Still, that’s a pretty impressive spread. This particular bird seemed to be at least that as it soared along the cliffs of Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands.

Beautiful
Just flesh and bone this —- Feathered knife carves the buoyant air —- And elevates our hearts .
Very impressive. Nice grab Sean!!
is that 11 feet each side, or is that from wing tip to wing tip. ?
Hey Michael, that’s from wing tip to wing tip when stretched out.
