seeking some bird images for a CHCH City Council checklist

Postby andrewcrossland » Fri Mar 15, 2024 11:59 pm

Hi folks, we're putting together some illustrated bird checklists for the 260+ bird species recorded in the CHCH, Banks Peninsula and Central Canterbury Area. A full area checklist and some main site checklists. They'll be available eventually as PDFs on the CCC parks website. The idea is both to promote greater community awareness of the rich avifauna of the local area and also to provide a resource for local and visiting birders.
We have most of the pics needed but are trying to source a small number of others. If anyone is happy to let us "borrow" their 11th best photo of one of the species below- that pic that is not as good as your other ones and likely to sit on a memory card for ever and not see the light of day. All pics will be acknowledged to the photographer with "(c) photographers name".

If anyone can help, the species needed are the following:

Cox's sandpiper
Grey-backed storm petrel
Black-bellied storm petrel
NZ storm petrel
Black-winged petrel
Blue Petrel
Salvin's Prion
Antarctic Prion
Thin-billed Prion
Sub-Antarctic Little shearwater
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
