Long Wings Make Preening Hard! Young Albatross Chases Wings In New Zealand | July 22, 2025

The #RoyalCam nestling is getting older, and growing a new set of feathers requires constant attention and preening. But when you're growing into a 3m/9-foot set of wings, sometimes it can be hard to reach the spots you want to reach!

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

Royal Cam is a 24-hour live stream of a Northern Royal Albatross nest during the breeding season at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on the southeast tip of New Zealand's South Island.

The 2024–25 season features male RLK (named for his colored leg bands: Red, Lime, blacK) and female GLG (Green, Lime, Green) nesting at the Signal Station Trig nest site. This is the pair's first season on the Northern Royal Albatross Cam. The fertile egg was laid on November 11, 2024.
