Tracking white-headed petrels (Pterodroma lessoni) in the Southern Ocean from Adams Island, New Zealand (2011-2014)

Ten white-headed petrels (Pterodroma lessonii) from Adams Island, Auckland Islands, were tracked during 2011–14 using miniature geolocators, in the first study to examine the at-sea movements and key foraging areas of this pelagic seabird. Data revealed extensive migrations west to South Africa and east into the central South Pacific Ocean. The birds returned to colonies Aug–Oct. Details are in Taylor, G.A.; Elliott, G.P.; Walker, K.J.; Bose, S. 2020.
