I’m back! And today our report on the threats to seabirds in northern Aotearoa New Zealand has been published, outlining what our challenges are for conserving these at-risk species. We also identify what knowledge gaps we need to fill to better protect these birds and their ecosystems, and what actions we can take now to kickstart better conservation management. You can read the report on the Northern New Zealand Seabird Trust website here: https://www.nzseabirdtrust.com/threats-to-seabirds-of-northern-nz⠀ ⠀ I spoke briefly about it on RNZ Nine to Noon yesterday morning, which you can listen to here: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/2018697417/seabird-report-details-enormity-of-the-species-at-risk⠀ ⠀ takoketai / Black petrel, off the Poor Knights islands | 2019⠀ ⠀ #seabird #conservation #endangeredspecies #extinction #petrel #your_best_birds #seabirdstory #birdphotography #birdsofinatagram #instabird #seabirdscience #womeninstem #scientistlife #aotearoa #newzealand #haurakigulf #petrelhead #seachange https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGYuxFAszI/?igshid=1aoceh5ourf9r

Back from the Poor Knights, long nights working with rako Buller's shearwaters, and snorkelling in the afternoons to wake up! This kekeno NZ fur seal popped by to say hello one day ~⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #scientistlife #marine #seal #ocean #poorknights @divetutukaka #biologistlife #fieldwork #fieldbiology #snorkelling #marinereserve #blackandwhite #monochrome #blackandwhite_photos#nature #aotearoa #newzealand #nznature #nzwildlife #olympustg5 #underwater #bnw_photography #bnw_captures #bw_perfect #naturelovers #wildlifephotography #noir #bnw_nature #nature_perfection #marinemammal #sealsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvukohDAA5M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pec9a4enugtx

The Hauraki Gulf is seabird central! 27 breeding species, hundreds of thousands of petrels, shearwaters, gannets, gulls, terns, shags, and penguins. Rafts of thousands of Buller’s shearwaters waiting for a feed from big fish schools pushing plankton to the surface are a common sight during their summer breeding season. At the moment I’m retrieving GPS units from birds to see where they’re foraging while feeding their chicks - and it’ll be interesting to see where they’re going! ⠀ ⠀ #birdventurenz #seabirdscience #shearwater #birdventurer #birdventure #scientistlife #biologistlife #fieldbiology #seachange #ocean #conservation #conservationphotography #blue #blueplanet #birdphotography #haurakigulf #seabirdstory #your_best_birds #raw_birds #bird_lovers_daily #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #birds_nature #nz #aotearoa #wildnz #birdsnz #newzealand https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQPHk4hBWG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r2mfhrehotj8

A year ago I was heading north to Rangitāhua, the Kermadec islands. Today, I’m off to Te Hauturu-o-toi, Little Barrier Island. On seabird wings, I have visited some amazing places over the past two years! I’m so thankful that I can do work that I love, with amazing people, in truly spectacular environments. ⠀ ⠀ Black-winged petrel | off Raoul Island, 2018⠀ ⠀ #birdventurenz #seabirdscience #scientistlife #biologist #fieldbiology #seabird #petrelhead #petrel #goldenhour #raw_birds #birdstagram #birdlovers #your_best_birds #nikonnz #nikonnature #biologistlife #birds_daily #discover_earth #aotearoa #newzealand #nzbirds #wilderness #ocean https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUN_tHg6oL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gt2nctjq2tiw

Little helper! I've just spent a few days on Tawhiti Rahi, Poor Knights islands, checking burrow occupancy of this season's crop of rako Buller's shearwater chicks. We'll be doing some GPS tracking of their parents next month, so we need to know which burrows will be visited regularly enough so that we can get the devices back! ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #seabirdscience #birdevnturenz #womeninstem #fieldbiology #scienceoutside #biologistlife #seabird #shearwater #poorknights #scientistlife #cutechick #babybird #discover_earth #fieldbiologist #fieldworkphotos #your_best_birds #ornithology #birdsofinstagram #biology #research #scientist #wilderness #islandlife #fujix100s #conservationphotography #liveforthestory #birds_ilife #birdshots #getoutside #adventure⁣⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/BuM3qlrguwD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10fwr5hmvdv8d
