• Please note: As the colony
is a wildlife reserve, what is seen depends on the
time of the year. Management
of the reserve may lead to some restriction, so bookings
are essential. By the 24 November the birds
have laid their eggs and are settled on their nests.
HOWEVER we are in the process of making
changes to the observatory, to allow year round access.
Please
contact the Royal Albatross Centre for information.
