Ian, have there ever been attempts to tag WWBTs? If so little is known about them, even though they do visit NZ in small numbers annually, one would think monitoring individual birds would answer some of these questions.

I saw a WWBT yesterday. I may have seen a second just as I left (or the first moved).
