LGL arrives home after being gone 6 days at sea (which we can see her flight path along the coastline near Kaikoura & then back to Pukekura on the GPS tracking site). Here is their GPS Link: [ Ссылка ]
She greets LGK and he preens her head sweetly! It was a quick change over and LGK leaves and walks to the right. LGL immediately gives her chick a feeding!! Beautiful closeups of the little one!! Thank you for watching!
