Concern over injured albatross

From Afternoons, 1:28 pm on 22 April 2020

The Royal Albatross family on Dunedin’s Taiaroa Head, watched by more than 100 thousand people around the world, has been reunited after an anxious wait.

The father to this year’s Royal Cam chick had been missing in action for a month, an unusually long time. He returned yesterday afternoon but has a worrying leg injury.

Among the Royal Cam devotees is RNZ’s arts reporter Lynn Freeman, who witnessed OGK’s return.
