Royal Albatross
This was last night's evening sky. SSTrig moved further down, she doesn't like to stay in one place.



Lunch time! Mom GLG and cam found her girl SSTrig!

It's weight day at the colony and the rangers head over to the hidey hole that SSTrig has been staying in lately and pick her up & bring her back towards her original nest. They put her in the basket & take her weight and then return her to the grass. Enjoy some beautiful closeups of SSTrig while we have them!! She is 91 days old today- 3 months old! She is still very young to be so mobile walking so far from her natal nest. She barely stayed ten minutes this time before she was on the move again paddling over to the right and then out of cam view again! She made her way back down the hill once again as seen from the H-cam. Thank you for watching!

Signal Station Trig chick from the Plateau area. Since she is out of view from the cam -  Photo taken by ranger.


Kicking and showing her displeasure at being moved back to her nest for weigh in day. She's a feisty girl! LOL! 




Since hatching at 286g on the 28th of January, the Signal Station Trig chick has grown to 5.8 kg on day 91 (Tuesday 29th of April). This is a 0.1 kg increase on last week’s weight. Today’s weight is 300g below average for a female toroa chick of this age but still within the healthy weigh range. We are not yet halfway to fledging in September, all the chicks still have a lot of growing and developing to do.

Ms. Trig's current hidey-hole. She's the white fluff ball on the left going down the hill. (No wonder the Royal cam doesn't see/find her.)
