摘要：
We describe how to age immature Black-browed Diomedea melanophris and Grey-headed Albatrosses D. chrysostoma up to age 6 years (when they have usually acquired adult characteristics), from a combination of the age and pattern of moult of flight feathers, bill colouration and certain plumage characteristics. This is based on known age birds retrapped at colonies during the breeding season. Ageing of immatures at other times may be complicated by them being in active moult; we provide further guidance for these circumstances.
