From November 1966 to January 1967 I spent eight consecutive weeks on North Meyer Island in the Kermadec group as a member of the Ornithological Society of N.Z. expedition. Breeding habits of wedge-tailed shearwaters were studied through courtship, egg-laying and early incubation. A flood disrupted incubation and destroyed a part of the study area. Nest-associated fauna and ectoparasites were collected.
