Live Webcams in New Zealand

New Zealand's live webcams begin at the end of the Otago Peninsula, at Taiaroa Head, among the nests of the northern royal albatross, the only mainland colony of the species in the world. The live webcams in New Zealand keep New Zealand Standard Time, UTC+12, UTC+13 in summer; the birds are on the nest at every hour, but the wind that brings them gliding in is strongest in the afternoon, from about 01:00 UTC. A royal albatross spans some three metres wing to wing and can live for more than 40 years. The season runs from the eggs in November through hatching in late January to a chick that sits on the headland until it fledges in September; between seasons the headland keeps the cliff and the sea. Aotearoa is the name in Māori.
