    Thank you Delaney, the experience certainly lives in my memory today as clear as it was years ago. Watching the Albatross playing in the wind convinced me that this couldn't be instinctive behavior. They were doing what any intelligent being would do if they could fly. Surfers do exactly the same kind of thing but in waves, Albatross use the waves of air in the same way.

    Mr. Jennings - This film was one of the most beautiful example I've ever seen of the Albatross. I didn't know that much about it when I began watching this so I did some reading. Nature, in her infinite wisdom, created every animal with their own special and incredible skill. The fact that these birds have the ability to go for such extended distances without flapping their wings is amazing in itself. But they can basically choose to hover in one area if they need too. The shot that began at 3:35 was a good example of that and between the beauty of the birds, the loyalty they have to their mate and the music, I was brought to tears. It is a beautifully filmed piece of work that shows us what most people never pay much attention too. I thank you for bringing it to mine.

    MissDistarr60 Thank you for your kind comments. That visit to the island of the "wind dancers" certainly has been a highlight of my many sea kayaking adventures. I would like to go back there at least one more time and video the amazing aerobatics of these beautiful creatures in UHD video. That experience changed my attitude to animals in general. We often talk about the instinctive behaviour of animals but to my mind, after watching the Albatross "play with the wind", it seems to me they are doing what human surfers do when body surfing waves. When in close contact with the elements, both surfer and Albatross learn to respond infinitely to the changing pressures on every part of their bodies. This is not instinct its pleasure in responding to nature. After all if I could fly like an Albatross I would do exactly what they were doing and "dance with the winds". Thank you again.

It even has an interactive gliding demonstration with an animated Albatross! :¬)

    Albatross' are in a family of their own that consists of several species. The smallest, the Sooty Albatross, has an average wingspan of 7 feet..The largest, the Wandering Albatross has an average wingspan of almost 13 feet, with the largest recorded example having a 17 foot wingspan. A bird nearly as large as a light plane.
