Watch female BOK return to the headland to feed her nestling at the Top Flat Track nest. Watch the sweet reunion as the neighboring chick from the Top Flat nest explores the surrounding area.

*******************************
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.
This season (2023-24) features two nests in view. At the main site to the left of the frame, male LGK (named for his colored leg band combination: Lime/Green/Black) and female LGL (Lime/Green/Lime) return to the Top Flat nest site, where they are caring for a single egg laid on November 7.
Nearby to the right, male WYL (White/Yellow/Lime) and female BOK (Blue/Orange/Black) have been tending to their egg since it was laid on November 14 at the Top Track Flat site. This site is currently obscured by tall grass, which will die down and open up the view as the season progresses.

So sweet and so funny when the other chick came waddling into the camera. Was he wondering when his meal was coming?

Sharon Shneyer, Cornell, what is that strip of land that we see from the colony out in the water! Does it have any uses or what? Thank you so so much, I have been curious for a long time.

Did he/she just feed both of them?

[@dominiccastellano1009]

I hope there’s no plastic in it.

Plastic is literally in everything
