Dunedin's mayor says she will raise a flag to mark the 1000th chick to be hatched at Taiaroa Head and celebrate the city as an "icon of wildlife throughout the world". The 1000th chick was a "great story of conservation success", she said. The 1000th albatross chick (also below) to hatch at Taiaroa Head held by Doc ranger Scott Latimer. Photos: Doc/suppliedDoc ranger Sharyn Broni said she considered it a privilege to have witnessed the 1000th chick hatch at the colony. Ms Broni began working at the Royal Albatross Centre 28 years ago and was there in 2007 when the 500th chick hatched.
