Far easier to see than its Indian Ocean counterpart, indeed, there are a few records from the Northern Hemisphere including the UK. They breed on Gough and Tristan da Cunha, most of these photos being taken on Nightingale Island. The two species are distinguishable by the amount of grey on the head but some Atlantics are rather white-headed. These are probably fairly young birds, as juveniles have a white head and black bill.
