ALBATROSS COLONY
ONLY ONE CHICK HATCHED
Only one albatross chick lias been hatched in the. nesting ground at the Otago Heads this- year, states the Otago Daily Times. This was expected as the birds, breed only very .second year, and live of the six pairs which so I'ar comprise the. colony hatched chicks last year. The chick Avhieh was hatched this year is now two months old. It is the eleventh to be reared in the area in the past live years. As a result of the measures that have been taken to protect the birds, not one chick has been lost in that period.
