Beidzot Sharyn ir atgriezusies no atvaļinājuma un publicēta atskaite par pagājušo sezonu.
Mazliet arī par jaunās sezonas albatrosiem.

Royalcam News

Āwheo hatched on the 22nd of January 2026 and fledged on the 4th of September at 225 days of age.
Note that the cam will stay in place until a new nest for viewing is chosen after egg laying in November.

2025/26 season update

Fledging is now over with this season equalling the record set last season of 38 fledging’s.

Rangers work for royal albatross: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-a ... albatross/

Once leaving Pukekura juveniles quickly learn about life on the ocean where they will spend 85% of their lives. They will learn to feed off the east coast of Aotearoa/New Zealand before crossing the 9000km across the Pacific Ocean to the Humbolt Current off the coast of Chile. Juveniles do not touch ground for on average 5 years when they return to their breeding ground having circumnavigated the globe.
The parents of fledging juveniles, now exhausted from the 7 months of feeding a huge chick also head across the Pacific Ocean where they will spend the next 12 months building up reserves for a new breeding season in 1 years’ time.

Past Royalcam family’s news

Meet the Royalcam families: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-a ... al-family/

The parents (LGK and LGL) of Karere, Tiaki and Kiwa have a male chick at Top Flat, number 1000 for the life of the colony. The chick received a GPS tracker and fledged on the 12th of September.

The journey of Top Flat chicks GPS tracking data since fledging, Top Flat stayed relatively close to the takutai/coastline before heading out across the continental shelf and crossing the Pacific Ocean. The higher the number in the circles, the more time has been spent in the area, EP = End Point i.e. the last known location.

YWK and KGY, Moana’s parents have a male chick and Tūmanako’s dad BK and his new mate RLW have a female chick, both have fledged.
GO and WO, the foster parent’s of 2018 chick Amīria had a broken egg but raised a female foster chick who has now fledged.

Past Royalcam chicks that have returned to Pukekura are Moana, now 10 years old, Tūmanako and Amīria. 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).

First toroa back for the 26/27 breeding season

It takes some careful observation to notice that one of these birds is not quite like the other. Sure, they are both Northern Royal Albatross at Pukekura and both have the pale bill of a toroa that is not feeding a chick. However, the one at the back is a chick, it still has wispy bits of down on the feathers. The bird at the front is sleek, well rounded and has no down. The yellow band indicates she is a female and although we cannot see it in the image this is A50. All the chicks this season have F as the letter on their alphanumeric band.

At 8 years of age and having just arrived back from a winter off the coast of South America, A50 is the first toroa back to start the 2026/27 breeding season. A50 hasn’t bred yet, breeding starts at an average of 8 years of age, but she has been looking for a mate over the past 3 seasons. Only time will tell if she breeds during the 2026/27 season.

There is a slow start for sightings of returnees but we are now up to 70 having been confirmed.
