"Welcome to Royal cam - streaming live from our northern royal albatross colony at Taiaroa Head near Dunedin.
About 80 birds have returned for the 2016/17 breeding season.
The nest on the web cam belongs to a younger albatross pair. Look out for their colour bands - the male has blue-black (BK) bands and the female red-blue-black (RBK).
Their egg was laid on 12 November. If all goes well, their egg will hatch during January."

[As well as the sitting bird, there are often magnificent views of albatrosses gliding and swooping about]
