Observation details
Thanks to the birdforum for help with the ID. One white bird flying low over the water. Bad weather and the sea was full of sea horses and the bird was very far away. I could only see one bird, loosing sight of the bird all the time among the sea horses. Looking at my pictures and I could see 2 birds on the picture. At bird forum they pointed out that it was 2 sea gulls. But there was also a third bird the Laysan Albatross, the one I ID with the black band on the tail and the dark top. So it was 3 birds in total, at least. 2 gulls flying together and one Laysan Albatross. My gull pictures are over exposed and thus I thought the black disappeared on the pictures.
