It's time for another weight check for the Royal Albatross chick at the South Plateau nest site. At 17 days old, the youngster now tips the scales at 3.75 pounds (1.7 kg), which is a healthy weight for a chick at this stage!

RoyalCam was set up in January 2016 by the Department of Conservation and the Cornell Lab has been collaborating with DOC since 2019 to bring the cam to life. To learn more while watching, view the cam at
