class="content__text" The busy hatching period at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head is over, for the season. Our rangers have worked tirelessly to get through this period, making sure all the northern royal albatross eggs, chicks, nests and parents were monitored and cared for. The reward for all this hard work was welcoming 33 new chicks to the colony, which the team are so pleased about. This is the second highest number of chicks to ever hatch at Pukekura! Even though this busy period is over, our rangers will continue their work right through until the chicks have fledged. They'll be weighing and monitoring the chicks and will do things like supplementary feeding, to those that need it. Here are some snaps taken from the live stream, from some of the fans.
