First Health Check For Royal Albatross Hatchling | DOC | Cornell Lab – Jan. 25, 2021

Описание: Watch the Royal Albatross hatchling receive its first health check from two rangers from the New Zealand Department of Conservation. The chick weighed in at 280 grams on Monday morning, and first reports are that it is looking healthy under the care of the male (LGK).

RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation. For the 2020-21 season we have collaborated with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. To learn more while watching, view the cam at

*******************************
Royal Cam is a 24-hour live stream of a Northern Royal Albatross nest during the breeding season at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on the southeast tip of New Zealand's South Island.

The season of 2020-21 sees the Royal Cam once again on the hill. Now at Top Flat, the season is underway with a return performance from breeding pair LGL (the female, named for her leg bands) and LGK (the male). This pair of ocean wanderers has been together since 2017, and in 2018–2019 they were the stars of the Royal Cam, raising their chick Karere all the way to fledging. After their successful breeding season, LGL and LGK took last year off to replenish their energy reserves, a pattern that is typical for Royal Albatross parents. Now these two are fully prepared for the long haul of another 10-month nesting period.

This season the live stream has partnered with Cornell Bird Lab. There are some new features including a trial of night vision and the ability to pan and zoom the camera at the rangers discretion.
