Northern Royal Albatross are returning to their breeding grounds at Taiaroa Head Nature Reserve to establish nests and lay their eggs. According to rangers at the New Zealand Department of Conservation, more than 100 individuals have been spotted across the colony, and five eggs have been laid. More are sure to come in the following weeks. Watch the adults' interactions as they begin the 2020-21 breeding season live on the #RoyalCam.

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.
