Big Bird

Dunedin Airport. August 2008. Ajr

This royal albatross was an unexpected surprise inside the Dunedin Airport terminal. Suspended above the stairwell it serves as a pretty reminder that Dunedin's Taiaroa Head on Otago Peninsula, is home to the only mainland colony of royal albatross in the world.
