During 1969, 1,665 miles of coast were patrolled by 99 members of O.S.N.Z. and 2,534 dead seabirds were found. No species was exceptionally abundant but there was a high proportion of albatrosses relative to other years The rarest specimens were an oriental cuckoo Cuculus saturatus horsfieldi and an Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea.
