New records of the Kerguelen petrel (Pterodroma brevirostris) in the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

Notornis, 19 (1), 56-60

P.C. Harper; G.E. Watson; J.P. Angle (1972)

Article Type: Paper

The range of the Kerguelen petrel (Pterodroma brevirostris) is outlined and extensions into the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, based on observations from the ships Eltanin and Eastwind, are documented, suggesting a nearly circumpolar movement. “At sea” characters of flight pattern, plumage appearance and foot colour are noted.

Pipits, skylarks and rainfall

Notornis, 19 (1), 20-25

J.B. Hamel (1972)

Article Type: Paper

A preliminary analysis of bird lists from Otago suggests that during the breeding season pipits (Anthus novaeseelandiae) are absent from areas with a mean annual rainfall of under 30 inches (767 mm). Skylarks (Alauda arvensis) seem less affected by low rainfall and are abundant even where the mean annual rainfall is as low as 13 in. (330 mm). Some factors possibly influencing these correlations are discussed.

Aspects of breeding behaviour in the royal penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus schlegeli

Notornis, 18 (2), 91-115

J. Warham (1971)

Article Type: Paper

The breeding cycle begins in late September, when the mature males come ashore after their winter at sea to occupy their nesting sites, and ends in early April, when the breeders return to sea following their annual moult. This cycle of nesting and moult is outlined and the main patterns in a complex sign-language of display and posturing are described.
