Royal Albatross Cam Moves To Quarry Track As Nest Location For 2021-22 Season | DOC | Cornell Lab

Welcome to Quarry Track, the new nest location for the 2021-22 Royal Albatross cam season. We are excited to announce that this season we'll be featuring some old friends on cam, as male OGK and female YRK return for another breeding attempt at the Taiaroa Head Nature Reserve on New Zealand's South Island. This pair was most recently featured during the 2019-20 season when they successfully raised star chick Atawhai to fledging. The pair is currently caring for a fertile egg, laid on the November 9. In this clip, YRK settles in and checks on her egg as young adults and non-breeders congregate on the bluff near the nest site. RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation. For the 2021-22 season we have collaborated with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

The 2021/22 Royal Albatross cam season is underway with a return performance from breeding pair YRK (the female, named for her leg bands colored yellow/red/black) and OGK (the male, orange/green/black), last seen on cam in 2019-2021. The female laid the pair’s egg on November 9. This pair of ocean wanderers has been together since 2006, and in 2019–2020 they were the stars of the Royal Cam, raising their chick Atawhai all the way to fledging. After their successful breeding season, YRK and OGK took last year off to replenish their energy reserves, a pattern that is typical for Royal Albatross parents. Now these two are fully prepared for the long haul of another 10-month nesting period. Learn more about this season’s Royal Cam family from DOC: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native...
