Hi John - I've suggested shy Albatross because of the pale grey sides to the face and the grey bill but I think we should leave the final word to Leo.

I agree with Max for the reasons stated. An underwing shot would confirm.
Shy Albatross is more common off Eden than Black-browed.

I've put up the only other shot I was able to get in. It shows a bit of the underwing.

Thats a good addition; The narrow black underwing margins confirm the Shy Albatross ID.
