Pelagic Birds of Tasmania

Pelagic birds are birds that spend a large part of their life on the open ocean. These include the majestic Albatross, petrels and terns.

Pelagic birds are usually seen several kilometres off shore or more. Pelagic birds frequenting Tasmania's offshore waters include species of albatross, such as the Wandering Albatross and Shy Albatross. These are magnificent birds that live in small groups and have masterful flight, soaring effortlessly and with sweeping gliding motion. Other pelagic birds frequenting Tasmania's offshore waters include Petrels, such as the Great-Winged Petrel or White-headed Petrel. This gallery of pelagic birds including Albatross and Petrels, was taken by wildlife photographer Marcio Conrado off the Tasman Peninsula
