  • At over 11 feet, the wandering albatross has the biggest wingspan of any bird on the planet. One of these birds can fly millions of miles during a lifetime, but they don’t live a solitary existence; they are masters of the long-distance relationship. Bertie watches as an old albatross couple reunites alongside a pair of flirty teenagers on a bizarre first date.

    With a wingspan of around 11 feet, the albatross relies on strong wind to get their giant bodies in the air. What intrigues you the most about these massive birds?

    He is clearly enjoying his job with the way he smiles and delivers. His job is just amazing seeing all these sorts of animal culture. I wish I could have a job like that.

    I hope no one hunts albatross cuz they literally have a family to comeback to and a lifetime partner!

    I didn't realise the wandering albatross is so fascinating! I was so shocked and sad to see them being trapped by the fish hooks - and also remembering that they might have a life-long mate waiting for them and wondering when they will be back.

    I love this man's enthusiasm. With the exuberance of a child discovering something completely new and amazing for the very first time and still with So Much respect for these animals. He reminds me so much of Steve Irwin's excitement and passion. Bertie Gregory, your Amazing! ♥
