White-Capped Mollymawk (White-Capped Albatross) (Thalassarche cauta steadi) making an ungainly landing, Stewart/Rakiura & Ulva Islands, South Island, New Zealand
Albatrosses may be masters of the sky, but landing is at best an ungainly affair and at worst downright dangerous as they try to control their extraordinarily long wings.
Maori name is Toroa
