So wonderful to follow the parents and their chicks. I live on the other side of mother earth - in Sweden - and have full winter now. I visited Taiaroa 2006 and saw the colony from the observation point.
Now I'm back from a trip to the Antarctica and have lots and lots of photos of albatrosses soaring behind the ship. I simply love these birds. Good luck with all the "kindergarten" and hope all will come through so they can fly away next Sept/Oct.
