The greatest ocean wanderer

With its two-metre wingspan

Is the albatross

To find enough food for its oversized offspring

This black-footed albatross may have travelled

A staggering 6000 miles across the open ocean
惊人的6000英里远洋
Looking for hot spots of squid and fish

The albatross nest on the tiny Hawaiian islands of French Frigate Shoals
信天翁在夏威夷的法国军舰环礁上筑巢
This island may be only half a mile long

But it provides a base for around 300,000 seabirds
但它为约30万只海鸟提供了栖息地
With food so hard to come by in the open ocean
在开阔的海洋中,食物是如此难以寻觅
Newly hatched sooty tern chicks are easy pickings for the larger frigate birds
新孵化的灰燕鸥雏鸟成了较大军舰鸟的易得猎物
For hours on end they survey the nesting grounds

Waiting for a chance to strike

A mother tries desperately to protect her helpless chick
母亲拼命保护她无助的雏鸟
But an unguarded chick is desperately vulnerable

It's what the frigate has been waiting for

No wonder the crew of the ***** called them the"man-of-war" birds
难怪船员们称它们为“军舰鸟”
For two weeks

The frigate birds keep up their relentless aerial assault

Until finally the sooty tern chicks are old enough to get away
