Waved Albatross only nest on Espanola Island (anywhere in the world),
these two were doing the mating dance of hitting each others beaks, clapping sounds and dancing.
They abandon the island and head for feeding grounds off Ecuador and Peru, usually between January and March.
They start returning in April but the young don't return until they are 4-5 years old when it's time to find a mate (they mate for life).
