Gibson's albatross (Diomedea antipodensis gibsoni) is a large seabird in the albatross family, Diomedeidae, named after the Australian amateur ornithologist John Douglas Gibson. It is found principally in the Auckland Islands of New Zealand, foraging in the Tasman Sea, with most individuals nesting on Adams Island. Gibson's albatross is classified as part of the same species as the Antipodean albatross but is generally paler in colour. Adult birds are white on the back, with white plumage on the head and body and fine grey barring. The tail is white with black edges, except in older males, in which it may be completely white, while the bill is pale pink. This Gibson's albatross was photographed in flight off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia. Photograph credit: John Harrison

This template should always be
substituted (i.e., use {{
subst:NotifyPOTD}} ). |
This template can be used to notify uploaders and nominators of a featured picture scheduled for POTD by placing a message at the bottom of their user talk pages. This is most easily done by employing the "New section" link at the top of the page and substituting the template using the code below, leaving the subject field blank since the template already generates a heading. There are four unnamed parameters (three required, one optional) and two named parameters (both optional).
