Before the eggs are laid they are only in their territory some of the time. They need to continue to build up food reserves prior to incubation.

Kaewa, The 2025 Royalcam chick.
Ko sagaidīt no Royalcam kamerasWhat to Expect on Royalcam
The cam will be moved after the eggs have been laid and a suitable Royalcam family can be chosen. Cam pair location depends on being in range of the cable, the cam needs to be higher up from the nest and the pair needs to be a reliable and tolerant pair.
Past Royalcam family’s news
Tūmanako, who fledged in 2017, returned at the end of 2021 and has been ‘keeping company’ with a 7-year-old female (i.e. serious about breeding). As they will be first time breeders, we cannot be sure that they will breed this season, but so far, the signs are looking good.
Tūmanako’s father, BK has also been sighted as a 2025/26 returnee as has ROY, who persistently fed another pairs chick during 2024. Tūmanako, BK and ROY are all well out of range of the Royalcam cable. Moana the first Royalcam chick has been sighted as well, very good news as she was not spotted last summer.
There are many more weeks to go before we know who is going to be around for the breeding season. We appreciate your patience while we establish who the breeders are going to be.
