Royal Albatross Chick Shows Impressive Hovering Skills During Blustering Afternoon In New Zealand

On a rainy, blustery afternoon in New Zealand, the Royal Cam chick puts on an impressive show during flight practice! Watch as the chick spreads its massive wings, effortlessly hovering in place as the wind whips across the headland.

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
