📌 Info by Sharyn Brony, Ranger (DOC)
Egg candling 2nd of January.
At around 9am Julia candled the Signal Station Trig egg to check for healthy development. The embryo is developing just fine and is 52 days old. If we do find failed eggs the parents can be given a dummy for when we need them as foster parents later. This increases the chances of fledging more chicks.
After GLG arrived back at Signal Station Trig nest for her turn at incubating the egg on the 26th of December it was decided to GPS tag her while she is fresh on the nest.
Geo Positioning Tags are very light weight and are cable tied to the strong back feathers between the wings. They will fall off after around a year when these feathers are moulted. We will receive the data via satellite so do not need to retrieve the device to see the information that it has gathered of the bird’s whereabouts. We hope to gain foraging location insights from the data.

Royalcam is viewing RLK and GLG at Signal Station Trig. Their egg was laid on 11 of November 2024.
Pair: RLK (Red, Lime, black) 12-year-old male and GLG (Green, Lime Green) 14-year-old female.
This pair started breeding in 2019/20, but their egg failed that season. They successfully raised two female chicks during 2021 and 2023 respectively. Their nests during these seasons were not far from the Royalcam nests of Tiaki and Manaaki and the chicks were seen on cam later in the season.
