Hi, Lia,
Your first record appears to show a yellow stripe on the bill, which, along with its white head, would suggest Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross. The other two pictures show a bird with a black bill. The juveniles of both Indian and Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatrosses have black bills. Pelagic seabirds are not my forte, so I would be reluctant to register an identity at this stage. |
