Talk:Shy albatross

Kenya?

Has anyone got any info as to the reason the bird is in the Category:Birds of Kenya? Just wondering, I suppose it's possible it straggles there. Kahuroa 05:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I tend to strip out cats for vagrants. It probably is based off a single record. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Split?

"while some authors have suggested splitting these as separate species this has not been widely accepted" - after BirdLife and the IUCN now accept it, this'll change. Dysmorodrepanis 23:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree. ;) --HoopoeBaijiKite 22:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, but non-breeding birds can be found throughout the southern oceans.
