Black-browed Albatross grounded in Wellington
This juvenile Black-browed Albatross was found grounded in Wellington last week. A Facebook post by Wellington Zoo reported that it was very weak when it was brought in for their vets to treat. They found it had swallowed plastic items that were stuck in its stomach and removed them. Hopefully the bird recovers and can be released back into the wild.

This Black-browed Albatross was well enough to be released back into the wild off the south Wellington coast last week:
