ALBATROSS COLONY
ONLY ONE CHICK HATCHED
NESTINGS AT OTAGO HEADS
Only one albatross chick has 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 every second year, and five of the six pairs which so far comprise the colony hatched chicks last year. -
The chick, which was patched this year is now two months old. It is the eleventh to be reared in the area in the past five years. As a result of the measures that have been taken to protect the Hirds, not one chick has been lost in that period.
