Royal Albatross ~ The New Royalcam Couple Is BOK & WYL 🎉 They Are Incubating A FERTILE EGG! 11.24.25

The cam has been moved to the albatross nest that will feature our RoyalCam couple for the 2025-2026 season! Sharyn Broni announces: " It is WYL and BOK who raised a chick at Top Flat Track during 2024 are the new Royalcam pair this season. They are nesting at Plateau this season. The fertile egg was laid on the 6th of November and will be incubated for an average of 79 days before hatching. Egg laying is nearly over, and many eggs are now being candled to check for fertility. Candling is the term used to describe shining a light through the eggshell. This is best done after 10 days for toroa eggs. Read more about our work with the toroa here: Ranger's work for royal albatross: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native... Parents take turns incubating their large, single egg for the next 2.5 months until the chick hatches. Incubation stints can be quite short at the beginning and the end of the eggs incubation but often become quite long during the middle as they need to find enough food for themselves and the new chick to come. Eggs will continue to be laid, one for each pair, throughout November." Also - there is exciting news on Kaewa's travels! Kaewa has crossed the Pacific Ocean | Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa and is now foraging in the Humboldt Current off the coast of Chile. In the opening slide I shared a GPS photo of Kaewa's location relative to her cohorts for the 2025 GPS tagged juveniles. Two of Kaewa's cohorts rounded Cape Horn already! And there is one GPS tag from 2024 class showing its last reading. Get ready for the new albatross season! Thank you for watching!
