  1. A few recent shots of the adorable royal albatross chick in NZ. He spends a lot of time alone these days, since the parents are mostly gone looking for food.

  2. The NZ Royal Albatross baby has been getting more time out from under its parents lately, and seems to be having a great time.

  3. Here's the link for the NZ Royal Albatross stream: youtube.com/watch?v=Mm_zVDDUeNA

    They have lots of good info about the nesting season and bird behaviour on their site, too (linked from the stream description).

    And here are a few more shots of the baby from today when a curious visitor came to visit and was allowed to have a good look.

  4. It's been a while since I shared any bird stuff. Here are a few shots of birds being cute on live cams recently. Lots of activity in bald eagle nests in the mornings Aus-time lately, and the Royal Albatross pair on the NZ live cam just hatched their chick this week, too!

  5. The albatross chick has now hatched and RLK is feeding it and keeping it warm. *squee* So cute! 🐣

    (you can rewind the live stream to get a glimpse of the chick)

  6. Albatross nesting has begun for the year at Dunedin in New Zealand 😀

    The pair on the live cam this year are RLK (red-lime-black), a 12 year old male, and GLG (green-lime-green), a 14 year old female, which successfully raised two chicks in 2021 and 2023. GLG laid their egg on the 11th of November and it usually takes about two and a half months for the egg to hatch. Watch:

  7. And today the baby albatross, TF, fledged! He hatched way back on January 23 and fledged exactly 8 months later.

    His mum, LGL, came back just afterwards and is now looking around wondering where he went.

  8. It’s that time of the year when the Royal Albatross Live Cam is up and running again at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head (near Dunedin) in New Zealand!

    There are two nests in view this year, with albatross pairs currently taking turns to incubate their eggs:

    You can watch it all the way through September, since that’s how long it’ll take them to incubate, hatch, grow and fledge! 😀
