A webcam is installed at a Northern Royal Albatross nest at Taiaroa Head

A Northern Royal Albatross Diomedea sanfordi nest at Taiaroa Head, New Zealand has been fitted with a webcam due to go live once the egg hatches – expected this week.  It is then intended it will broadcast the chick-rearing period until the chick fledges (click here).

The webcam joins one that will soon be filming a Laysan Albatross Phoebastria immutabilis nest and its chick on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, as it has for several years past (click here).
