Pink-footed Shearwater at Kaikoura

Postby sav » Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:07 pm

I've just seen photos, via Garry Melville, of what appears to be a dead cert Pink-footed Shearwater off Kaikoura yesterday. I'll get a link to them, or permission to post here if I can.

It must be Pink- ###### week in NZ!?

Hi all

here is the bird from Kaikoura taken 13th February 2018 by Matt Anderson and my strange bird from the Hauraki Gulf in October 2017 below.

Definitely not the same, the bill is quite different in the bottom photo. I liked the suggestion of a bullers x flesh-footed hybrid.
