Small pelagic species is the first impression...
a diving petrel, now do i have to get the species right?
northern, southern, sub-antarctic, or south georgian diving-petrel?
knowing the location would help... shooting for
Northern diving petrel.

well I have no clue and not much time due to issues in Chch at the moment, so I'll just say yellow-eyed penguins crooning together. I know it'll be wrong,but never mind

Diving Petrel. Decision based on (a) a quick look in HANZAB, (b) the fact the birds sound small (using what may be camera clicks in the background for reference...) and (c) the idea that if Neil recorded this himself, then it's most likely to be a bird breeding off Coromandel or other northern shores. But as I have never heard thisparticular type of Kuaka, I confess this is but a partially- educated guess.

Sounds like Grey-faced Petrel although it would be nice to find a recording to compare!
