A Manx shearwater (Puffinus p. puffinus) in New Zealand
Notornis, 20 (1), 14-20
Article Type: Paper
The first recorded occurrence of a Manx shearwater in the New Zealand region, being also the second record from the Australasian region, is reported. A description of the bird is given and a table presented of the main characters separating the fluttering, Manx, and Hutton’s shearwaters since it seems possible that Manx shearwaters, when present in New Zealand waters, associate with flocks of fluttering shearwaters and may be confused, as beach specimens, with both this species and Hutton’s shearwater. The breeding cycle and post-breeding migrations and movements of the Manx shearwater are outlined and discussed to account for the southern occurrences of this species.
