Royal Albatross Clacks At Scavenging Black-backed (Kelp) Gull | #RoyalCam | May 31, 2023

Clean up crew of 1 arrives at the SP nest! Some food from last evening's feed was dropped. At the time, the parent picked some of it up but a few tasty morsels remained for the Black-backed Gull (known in the US as a Kelp Gull) to scavenge on this morning.

RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation and the Cornell Lab has been collaborating with DOC since 2019 to bring the cam to life. To learn more while watching, view the cam at
