Spreading my wings

A White Capped Albatross (Thalassarche steadi)
spreads its wings on the water as a Buller's Albatross (Thalassarche bulleri) looks on curiously.

Both of these species are mollymawks or lesser albatross with wingspans between 2, and 2 and a half meters. At over 6 feet still huge - like the pilots of enormous gliders on the open seas.
