New Royalcam Couple LGK & LGL
11 December 2018
Thank you all for you patience while we chose and located the webcam this season. The general busyness of so many eggs laid this season along with inclement weather and the physical challenge of moving the webcam to the new location up a very steep slope has meant some delays. It also happens that many of the nests in range of the webcam cable are early breeders this season. We have given them some extra time to confirm that they are changing over regularly and incubating the egg well.
Our current pair are LGK (Lime, Green, Black, a 10 year old male) and LGL (Lime, Green, Lime, an 11 year old female). Maybe you have seen them walk past the webcam in previous seasons? This season is their second breeding attempt and their egg has been confirmed as being fertile. LGL laid their egg on the 6th of November and was the 9th out of 51 to be laid this season.
The nest name is South Plateau and this nest is higher up the hill than the webcam has been in previous seasons. It is directly across from the Observatory towards the Signal Station.
