Taxonomy edit

The taxonomy section of this article is just about the genus, and not the species, and should be contained there but not here surely. I'm going to re-write it to be species specific only. --Owheelj (talk) 00:40, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The grey-headed albatross (Thalassarche chrysostoma) is an albatross, averaging 81 cm (32 in) in length and 2.2 m (7.2 ft) in wingspan, which breeds further south than any other mollymawk. Though its common name derives from the species' ashy-grey head, throat and upper neck, the scientific name is a reference to the bright golden streaks on its bill.Photograph: JJ Harrison
