Feeding behaviour of the fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa)

Notornis, 36 (2), 99-106

I.G. McLean (1989)

Article Type: Paper

Three feeding methods are described for fantails (Rhipidura fuliginosa): hawking, flushing, and feeding associations. Hawking fantails cover large distances, use any available perch, and often feed above the forest canopy. Flushing fantails cover small distances, perch on twigs and small branches, and feed mostly within the canopy or on the ground. Fantails in feeding associations feed where the species being followed feeds. Changes in the proportion of use of each feeding method in relation to breeding stage are described; the sexes did not differ in feeding methods during breeding. By using several feeding methods, fantails forage in a wider range of microhabitats and so may obtain a wider range of prey than they would by only one method.

Seabirds found dead on New Zealand beaches in 1987, and a review of Procellaria species recoveries since 1960

Notornis, 36 (4), 299-310

R.G. Powlesland (1989)

Article Type: Paper

In 1987, 3,776 kilometres of coast were patrolled and 4,124 dead seabirds were found, well below the average for the previous 17 years (10,624). Unusual finds were a white-bellied storm petrel (Fregetta grallaria), a Kermadec petrel (Pterodroma neglecta) and a red-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda). A summary is given of the coastal and monthly distributions for Procellaria species found during the 1960-1986 period. The most frequently recovered species was the black petrel (P. parkinsoni), the number found annually varying markedly.

Kiwis and dog predation: observations in Waitangi State Forest

Notornis, 35 (3), 197-202

M. Taborsky (1988)

Article Type: Paper

A wild dog was found to kill 13 out of 23 kiwis marked with transmitters. The whole population may have lost 500 out of 900 birds, although this estimate may be conservative. The population will probably need 10-20 years and a rigorous protection scheme to recover to previous densities.
