The curator of the Canterbury Museum (Mr R. A. Falla) has gone to Dunedin to take moving pictures of the courtship of albatrosses at Taiaroa Heads, states The Press. The films which he is taking will complete a collection possessed by the museum, showing the life cycle of the albatross and including pictures of nesting, hatching, and the growth of the young birds. The mating season has now begun, and some interesting films should be obtained, as albatrosses behave in an interesting manner during courtship, performing a kind of dance and other antics.
