Observation details
At least 2 appeared during a period where there were about 6 albatrosses closer to shore - perhaps wind conditions. The one which came closest and the subject of most of these shots appears to be a shy based on the underwing neat borders and the lighter upper colours though I can't see the black "shoulders" and the bill *appears* to show creamish/yellow colour which doesn't match. The other Shy was further back and I couldn't really focus on it while trying to track/photo the closer bird. A couple of shots are of the 2nd bird. In the photo with both a Shy and Black Browed, the lighter colour of the Shy's top colour and the fading in the back between the wings seems to distinguish with the all black, darker top wings of the Black Browed.
