Tristan Albatross
Diomedea dabbenena Mathews, 1929
Diomedeidae — Albatrosses
Tristan Albatross, Diomedea dabbenena, is an albatross of the South Atlantic, breeding on Gough Island and, in some years, on Inaccessible Island in the Tristan da Cunha group. Outside the breeding season it ranges through subtropical and temperate waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is a member of the family Diomedeidae in the order Procellariiformes. At sea it is hard to tell from the snowy albatross, but it is smaller, with a darker back and a bill that is shorter.
