Name the Chick is back for 2026!!!

This year's competition theme is habitat restoration.

Royal albatross rely on healthy habitats at sea and on land. But these habitats are under pressure from climate change, pollution, especially plastic waste and human activities.

This year's theme invites you to reflect on the place’s albatross call home and the role we all play in protecting them. Your chosen name could draw on ideas of renewal, resilience, guardianship, or the natural world.

By taking part, you're helping raise awareness of the importance of restoring and caring for these habitats so future generations of albatross can thrive.

Entries close: 28 May 2026 at 5 pm (NZST) so get in quick.

WYL and BOK and Plateau male chick at Plateau nest.
The chick was last weighed at 11.36 am on 28th April, he weighed 7.4kg. This is an increase of 150g from the previous weight two weeks prior. He was above average weight for a male of this age. He will be weighed next on the 12th of May.

Track the chick's weight: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-a ... ks-weight/

The chick has been fed 5 times by both parents since the last update, 3 times by WYL and twice by BOK. As the chick gets bigger longer trips will need to be taken as the parents need to provide enough food for a growing chick and themselves.


WYLs GPS update: Over the last 6 days WYL has been back to the headland 3 times and has been foraging much closer to the colony than on recent trips.



BOK’s GPS update: over the last 6 days BOK has returned to the headland twice and stayed relatively close to the headland.
