Albatross chick

A photo from our trip to the Royal Albatross centre on the Otago peninsula in Dunedin last month. There were three chicks waiting for the parent birds to arrive with food. This was taken through the window of the hide so not as clear as I would like but it is still fluffy and cute.

Liana we are partnered in the get pushed challenge this week. As you have been away are you keen to play this week? If you are keen, how about a capture with the theme "textures"?

[Liana Bull]

@salza Hi Sally Yes I am on the way home today so will get to it asap. I'll set up your challenge later today if that is ok?

Lovely white fluffy bird against the background. I like the black and white treatment to bring out that contrast
