The subspecific status of the New Zealand population of the little owl, Athene noctua (Scopoli, 1769)

Notornis, 20 (1), 9-13

F.C. Kinsky (1973)

Article Type: Paper

Two distinct colour phases of the little owl occur in New Zealand. A comparison of a specimen of each with large series of European and British skins shows that the New Zealand birds cannot be separated from either the West German or the English specimens. The status of the subspecies of the little owl and their European distribution is given with particular reference to the colour phases present. It is considered futile to ascribe a specific status to the New Zealand population before a thorough revision of the European forms of Athene noctua is under taken.

A Manx shearwater (Puffinus p. puffinus) in New Zealand

Notornis, 20 (1), 14-20

F.C. Kinsky; J.A. Fowler (1973)

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.
