Abstract

We document the sighting of four New Zealand Storm Petrels Fregetta maoriana off Gau Island, Fiji, by summarising the circumstances and the identification and ageing of the birds. Like the first record off Gau in May 2017 (Flood & Wilson 2017), these sightings are significant for three reasons. They are only the second confirmed records of New Zealand Storm Petrel away from New Zealand / Australasia. They provide further evidence of long-distance dispersal / migration (Fiji is c .2,000 km north of New Zealand). New Zealand Storm Petrel remains listed as Critically Endangered (IUCN 2022). We undertook an eight-day pelagic expedition (25 May‒1 June 2022) to observe tubenoses off Gau (Ngau), Fiji. The vessel used was the 18-m sailing yacht Sauvage . Wind direction varied between north-east and south-east, and its speed between still and 35 knots, and sea state from flat to 2.5 m: 25–26 May north-east 15–25 knots, 27–29 May east-northeast 10–15 knots knots evening 28 May), 30 May east-southeast 0–5 knots (several hours of heavy rain mid-afternoon), 31 May–1 June east-southeast 10–15 knots.

2022年5月，更多的新西兰风暴海燕在斐济高岛附近出现

我们记录了四只新西兰风暴海燕在斐济高岛的目击情况，总结了这些鸟的情况、身份和衰老情况。就像2017年5月高岛的第一个记录(Flood & Wilson 2017)一样，这些目击事件有三个重要原因。这是新西兰风暴海燕在新西兰/澳大拉西亚以外的第二个被证实的记录。它们提供了远距离扩散/迁徙的进一步证据(斐济位于新西兰以北约2000公里处)。新西兰风暴海燕仍然被列为极度濒危物种(国际自然保护联盟2022年)。我们进行了为期8天的远洋考察(2022年5月25日至6月1日)，以观察斐济高岛(Ngau)附近的结核。使用的船只是18米长的帆船“沙维奇”号。风向介乎东北至东南，风速介乎静止至35海里，海况介乎平缓至2.5米:5月25日至26日东北风15至25海里，5月27日至29日东北风10至15海里(5月28日晚间)，5月30日东南风0至5海里(下午有数小时大雨)，5月31日至6月东南风10至15海里。的
