Royal Albatross ~ Sweet Reunion! GLG Returns Quickly From Foraging At Sea To Be w/ Her Chick 2.9.25

- GLG returns to the nest after being gone for only two days at sea! RLK greets her with a beautiful skycall and GLG will join in as well. A Mother's love brings her back to be with her new chick. RLK was only gone three days when he returned as well. Both parents are very devoted to their chick especially at this early stage. RLK begins to allopreen GLG with some sweet affection. She will reciprocate to him as well. They sit very close to one another - almost leaning upon one another. RLK will then get up and GLG immediately will take over brooding their chick. RLK gardens briefly before he departs. Don't be surprised if we see him back quickly as well.
More importantly than returning quickly is that they find enough food during their trip foraging at sea to be able to feed their chick. Thank you for watching!

This pair started breeding in 2019/20, but their egg failed that season. They successfully raised two female chicks during 2021 and 2023 respectively. Their nests during these seasons were not far from the Royalcam nests of Tiaki and Manaaki and the chicks were seen on cam later in the season.

Such gentle and beautiful birds. It's so heart-warming watching all the different species of birds. How much effort and love they put into their relationships. It feels a little like prying into their private time 😂 while watching as they share beaky kisses. What a stunning couple, they make.

So beautifull ! So serene and confident parents. A blessing there are NO predators at this place molesting them🎉. Thanks to humans 🙏😊
🦜We still need to see Henry make an appearance, hopefully 😆 No worries, he isn't a threat.
@schen5425 No he isn't 🦩 lol
Aww so cute 🥰😍🥰 these are really adorable parents, and of course their baby is incredibly adorable as well!! 😊, I’m glad GLG returned quickly, it took her awhile to get back last time and I was worried she wouldn’t find closer food sources, I’m happy the parents are both finding good amounts of food close by and that they get to return so quickly 😁, seeing the three of them together like this is such a joy because later on they don’t get to be reunited like this very often. So cute when they were resting their bills on eachother!! 😍 (4:32) thank you for sharing Lady Hawk!
🎶🎵An affection a love so strong for the couple RLK & GLG the reunion celestial songs sweet to our hearts to raise SSTrig, Lady Hawk🌷🌾 Blessings to you thank you for all the videos Happy Weekend & to all here 🐥🌿
Such a loving and gentle pair.
Makes one wonder where SSTrig and her sister after her were so feisty.
SSTrig at times would borderline bully
sweet Tiaki.
Ah well it's still all good.
Thanks for the update Lady Hawk! -

What precious angels!!! 💞
Where is babybird???
In the nest, under RLK and then GLG (at 13:20:22)
@Agnes-hm7iv ididnt see her:(
@@minttuxxx9109 13:20:31 you can see some white fluffy feathers just before Mom broods TSS
I was thinking she’d be gone several days to a week! She can’t bear the separation and right back home. The parents were so loving upon her return.
I love how RLK hunts for grasses to leave GLG before he spreads those wings and takes to the skies. I wish for tasty food, easy hunts and safe returns for our beloved RLK. 🤍
