The Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) is a member of the albatross family, and the smallest of the mollymawks. This colonial breeder feeds on fish, crustaceans and cephalopods. In 2004, BirdLife International split this species from the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross, though this distinction is not universally recognized.Photograph: JJ Harrison
