Meanings

  1. A large seabird, Diomedea exulans, with a very large wingspread.
    • ‘Well, there are lots of different subspecies of them, but the wandering albatross sort of looks like a bigger, more aristocratic seagull, with webbed feet and giant gliding wings. They partner for life and can live up to fifty years. They fly enormous distances to get the right food for their young.’ 2020, Paul Mendez, Rainbow Milk, Dialogue Books (2021), page 228:
