The juveniles fledged between the 27th of September to the 14th of October 2024. They will not make landfall until they return to Pukekura in 4 to 10 years’ time.
Once the juveniles return to Pukekura they are adolescents and on average, 5 years old there is a range of returning age from 3 to 10 years of age.
