- A White-faced Heron pays a visit to the Royal Albatross chick at Taiaroa Head. White-faced Heron is the most common heron in New Zealand. This species has only somewhat recently colonized the island nation, arriving from Australia in the 1860s, with breeding first confirmed in the early 1940s.
RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation. For the 2019/2020 season we have collaborated with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 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 season of 2019/2020 has seen the Royal Cam once again move up the hill. Now at Top Flat Track our new pair is OGK (banded Orange, Green, Black) a 21 year old male and YRK (banded Yellow, Red, Black) and 25 year old female. YRK laid the egg on 14 November 2019.
This season the live stream has partnered with Cornell Bird Lab. There are some new features including a trial of night vision and the ability to pan and zoom the camera at the rangers discretion.

What fancy neck wiggle on the Heron.
Haha, right? I'm thinking the heron had a large fish still in it's neck that was still alive. Maybe that's why it came to just chill for a while?
@@gothic_oma That's probably what it is. So funny!
It is odd looking.
Funny how baby keeps looking at heron like, "what ARE you?!".
😁 this channel never disappoints
Funny how the chick instinctively tries to scare it off by clicking her bill. Didn't work :)
Too cute

Pippa looks intrigued by the visitor
Baby girl is very alert keep your distance pay 💖💖💖💞💞💞💘💘💘❤❤❤😤
How awesome! 🥰🥰
Very nice. Im like.
It looks like the clicking of its beak is a defensive behavior...is this correct? I don’t know much about albatross.
Thanks for your question. Yes, this is a defensive behavior; the chick is letting the heron know not to get too close to its nest.
Cornell Lab Bird Cams thanks! By the way I use your app all the time to identify birds in my area. It’s become one of my new favorite things so thank you for creating the app!
So much for social distancing, lol
