Cape Town Pelagics: 7 albatrosses in a day!

Seven species of Albatross were seen on Sunday 7 August with Cape Town Pelagics!

Adding to last week’s Cape Town Pelagics success, producing 6 albatross species including Wandering and Southern Royal Albatross, we now saw 7 species! Have a look at the list below. Barrie Rose, who was guiding one of three Cape Town Pelagics trips that day, comments:

“Seven species of albatross, a white morph Southern Giant Petrel and a Southern Fulmar certainly pushes the day into my top ten local pelagics!”
