Listen now 🔊 Edin Whitehead @edinatw is researching the lives of the spectacular seabirds that call the Hauraki Gulf home.
Where do they go, how are they faring & what can they tell us about our moana? 🌊

There are 8 posters in the series, and they follow our 2019 report Threats to Seabirds in Northern Aotearoa New Zealand. We worked with @giselledraws and Stephanie Tibble to make these posters accessible for tamariki, and raise awareness of the many threats to our manu moana!

It is incredible to see all the fantastic #seabird research being presented at #WSC3 from across the globe!
We @Seabirders have over 5k followers & are loving seeing you share WSC3 news on Twitter. Map shows % followers by country - what a truly global seabird community we have!
Great news from Tāwharanui Open Sanctuary - the first tītī (Cook’s petrel) to fledge from mainland Aotearoa in a very long time. scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2106/S… 📸 @edinatw

How light impacts on seabirds and what we can do to help... colour, wavelength, direction, shape? #birdsnz2021

#WorldAlbatrossDay Here's an Antipodean albatross cruising towards the Antipodes islands. These guys are seriously threatened by fisheries bycatch - not only in New Zealand waters but across the Pacific. See some neat albatross tracking here: docnewzealand.shinyapps.io/a… #WAD2020

#WorldAlbatrossDay A glorious gamming group of Southern Royal albatross on Campbell island. They practice their 'moves' for a few years in these groups before pairing off and settling down with a mate. #WAD2020

#WorldAlbatrossDay A very fluffy but near-to-fledging Southern Royal albatross. These birds breed once every 2 years because the whole process of raising their chick takes 9 months! The adults take a year off before returning to breed at the same nest. #WAD2020

It's #WorldAlbatrossDay! Our favourite day of the year.
Did you know the most commonly seen albatross from land in south-eastern Australia is the Shy #Albatross? #Seabirds #Birding #birds #birdphotography
ALT Image is of two Shy Albatross. One is flying and the other is sitting in the water.

#Albatross can be difficult to identify to species level. Can you tell these two apart? Black-browed (left) and Campbell Albatross (right). Subtle differences including eye colour and the extent of black in the eyebrow help distinguish the two. #WorldAlbatrossDay #BirdBrows

Do #Albatross get any more spectacular than Buller's Albatross? Buller's breed on islands around #NewZealand, but can be found across the South Pacific from #Australia to #Chile when not breeding. #WorldAlbatrossDay
