This video and the music that is so fitting to the infinite grace of these beautiful birds is a pleasure to watch and watch again and again. Thank you. my dream is to see an albatross, that now must happen. Mike Wood
Yes it’s a good sea kayaking journey, you have to know your tidal currents, navigation skills and be prepared for a bit of a hard grind if the weather and sea conditions dictate it, but as you said worth it. Probably the best trip I have done and that includes crossing Bass Strait.
@@jeffdjtube yes, we sailed up from Hobart and did 320 miles in 18 hours 40 years ago. It is a place that seems to be a bit like heaven, if one is prepared for it.
I've never seen anything so beautiful...Even my heart was pounding more slowly...thank you so much for the wonderful world of albatrosses ! I wish You have to see this fabulous country ! Greetings from Estonia !
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Markus Kelvin thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
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.
Amazing video!!! As a mariner, I have seen these beautiful creatures many times and it never gets old. I am getting a Wandering Albatross tattooed on my back on thursday!!! What an amazing bird!!!!
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.

I just finished a university project into the shy albatross colony on Pedra Branca, and I thought I’d gotten sick of counting nesting albatross... but I watched this and almost cried at their gracefulness.
In my opinion you have captured some of the most beautiful flying I have ever seen. As an old hang glider pilot, the touching of beaks near 3:35 had me in tears. Thank you so much for your hard work on this and for sharing it with the rest of us.
I had EXACTLY that question.... Not only the image s were great in the video, but the music in the background... The mixture of the two.... Wow... You made this nine years ago and keeps amazing people.
I'm wondering Everytime when I watching them just floating in the air so amazing & beautiful 💟 ~And the New 🐣 learning how to fly by their own is also cute & touching in Daily Life~~ 💚
Thanks for sharing such majestic bird flight. I videotaped a colony of black browed albatross in the Falklands, but mere numbers is no comparison to majestic flights. 👏👍
How amazing. Such a wonderful bird, albatross. Such freedom and elegance! Lucky you who filmed this and saw this with your own eyes. I hope I will see this once. I support albatrosses on RSPB and I encourage all to do the same. They need our help. Support safe fishing.
I love these birds but have never seen one flying..............would so love to see them soaring over the ocean. Perhaps I will have to visit Tasmania when I next go to NZ. Albinoni's music is always a bonus even if the oboe is missing!!
Hermoso el vídeo, grandioso el vuelo del albatros. Lo he visto varias veces y me encontré con algo extraño entre el minuto 4:52 y 4:53, aparece en el cielo una línea horizontal muy luminosa y sumamente veloz, se ubica en la zona derecha del cielo, casi a la altura del ala. No es otra ave, es una ráfaga de luz....
Mr Jennings, I am also amazed by this wonderful bird, which I didnt' know. I was reading an Edgar Allan Poe's story, where he mentions albatross. Wonderful footage music, video construction. Great momemts for a viewer. Of course, I suscribed to the channel.

I have been inspired to learn how to fly RC planes, so that I can glide and soar like these special birds. I've always enjoyed watching birds fly since I was a kid. And now I've even discovered a website called howfliesthealbatross don't forget the com, which explains dynamic soaring and how Albatrosses are able to glide huge distances using minimal energy. It even has an interactive gliding demonstration with an animated Albatross! :¬)
Hermoso, es uno de los animales más sorprendentes de la naturaleza, y la grabación fue increíble, conmovedora, preciosa... ¡Gran trabajo, cómo me gustaría estar ahí!

music is what gives us flight, our tears are the sea beneath Thee who flies so free. my heart bursts with this love you allow, in my grief over so much lost love, hung round my neck, only Thee can set free.
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.
They move finished and completed, gifted with the extension of senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of Earth ….Beston
Isn't it a bit odd, this bird has such large feet? For a flyer, you would think they would fold in for better efficiency yet it almost appears they can act as an elevator!
Dear Jeff, I wonder if I could use a short extract from your video? Our band recorded an old Jefferson Airplane tune live this weekend and wee extract from this video would be very fitting for the song ( High Flying Bird). I will of course, mention source in the credit of the video.Best regardsEddie, Glasgow, Scotland.
Such a lovely video, and the music matches the atmosphere of dancing birds

They looks peacefully floating in the sky, how awesome is that! Just heavenly.
That must have been quite a journey in a sea kayak. It would have been great. Worth it for the excellent footage too. Magnificent birds.

watch them landing lol

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.
Could be there were testing the wind cards to see if it's worth it to go out for a meal catch
I keep coming back to watch this super video. Can't help it. And I'm always smiling afterwards.
Amazing video!!! As a mariner, I have seen these beautiful creatures many times and it never gets old. I am getting a Wandering Albatross tattooed on my back on thursday!!! What an amazing bird!!!!
Can you post link of your Albatross tattoo? I want to see how it holds up after nearly a decade with it.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for capturing & sharing this footage of these spectacular birds. It brought tears to my eyes watching 7 years later.
I love these beautiful Birds. This was a great video, thank you!
This birds are masters of flying. Thanks for share this.
Makes me want to be a bird. What a marvelous sight, and beautiful music to accompany it.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I'll always come back. :¬)

Thanks for sharing this great video.
these birds are truly ahead of their time. thank you for the great video
The albatrosses may be flying but I'm the one who's feeling giddy with happiness. They give such peaceful vibes.
@Jeff Jennings
Amazing footage of these birds and the perfect musical accompaniment to this short film. What are we listening to...Bach?
+MrAnimatronicJesus Albinoni, trumpet concerto n° 9
Awesome, absolutely awesome, I wish I can fly like them.
As do I, brother
Such cool footage. It's always cool watching birds hover in place. I wonder if they use their large flat feet as a second and third tail at times.
Me too
There flight is Marvelous.!
I love these birds but have never seen one flying..............would so love to see them soaring over the ocean. Perhaps I will have to visit Tasmania when I next go to NZ. Albinoni's music is always a bonus even if the oboe is missing!!

slk fiquei sabendo q os primeiros 5 anos do albatros ele fica voando sem tocar no solo é verdade isso???
wow....amazing music,amazing vidio
What a magnificent bird! They never flap their wings, but simply soar majestically!
Thats beautiful sir. God bless you and your dinasty.
I see gulls on the beach do this type of windsurfing too. must be fun

So Cute when they touch their beaks together while flying. 😍😍 (Btw I'm my dad's daughter who's typing for those who are wondering)
At 3:36 the two beak-touching while the other is in the air, so beautiful :-)
One dislike here? Good grief, well I guess there will always be ignorance. This is gorgeous!

Lovely. I just wrote a story about an albatross and this is so perfect.
Those incredible wings
Que maravilla!!! Increíble que un ave con esas dimensiones vuele así. Sorprendente naturaleza!!!! 🧐🧐👋👋💓
Un hermoso vídeo con una gran música.
Legend has it those same albatross are still flying around
Increible melodia y pelicula de este precioso y majestuoso animal. el mejor volador del planeta. Recorre la Tierra en 46 dias aprovechando las corrientes de aire
perfectly captured!
it is avery nice short video clip.A bery interesting bird also considered as an chriatian soul.
They are some majestic creatures.
music is what gives us flight, our tears are the sea beneath Thee who flies so free. my heart bursts with this love you allow, in my grief over so much lost love, hung round my neck, only Thee can set free.
Men built the airplane but this one was already built by the nature
They're So Beautiful!
I MUST GO THERE! The Albatross is a wonderful creature
Most wonderful bird in the whole world.

***** Isso sem contar que os albatrozes chegam a voar quase 10 mil milhas náuticas (cerca de 18 mil quilômetros) praticamente sem bater as asas. o.O
+Yuri Sucupira nossa... dessa eu ñ sabia
Outstanding - very moving
Красиво летают птицы👍👍👍
Isn't it a bit odd, this bird has such large feet? For a flyer, you would think they would fold in for better efficiency yet it almost appears they can act as an elevator!
they can fold, but it would be for when they try to get a high glide ratio
They are as big as a
swan or condor.Weight about 12 Kg and a wingspan of 3,5 m.They can get(official) up to 62 years.
Truly amazing video!
Grazie è bellissimo, anche senza musica
Thank you for this.
Grande y maravillosas son tus obras oh , Dios creador de los cielos y la tierra.graciad mí Dios Amen.
This very nice planet this flight I love you I love you albatta rs🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
nice filming and directing. grtz Ray
Soaring over oceans sea breeze for life except for new life to come do they land and only with THE ONE PARTNER is RIGHTEOUS
Sensazioni uniche, e che occhi. Amorino pazzesco. ;*
Good to see how they enjoy flying. If they wouldn't feel the urge to reproduce, they would never land, appart from getting fish from the ocean.
This was nice man. Thanks to Wordreet (Pete) for sharing.
beautiful! great!
Very heart touching!
So beautiful 💞
Amazing birds.
Wonderful Iseland and Madjestic Birds ! We got a study from there in Swedish Nature Programme this early Morning ...

Le poéte est semblable au albatros, au roi d'azur!!
Which super power can create this???
its great music for studying
0:57 - 1:30
Me: Hey Alby... what are you doing?
Alby: Oh not much.... just hanging out
How they film this ? With a drone ?
No I was sitting on the edge of a cliff videoing the birds who were flying and landing right next to me.
Magnificent!
magnificent bird
