A large albatross is recovering at Wellington Zoo after crash-landing in last Friday's storm.
The female northern royal albatross - with a wingspan of more than 3m - was found injured in a Wainuiomata yard after the brief but powerful storm swept through Wellington.
A spokesman said the bird was being treated at Wellington Zoo's hospital, The Nest.
