HUTTON'S SHEARWATER/TĪTĪ

Please look out for endangered Hutton's shearwaters/tītī (and storm wrecked seabirds) in Kaikōura over the next two days 👀

Poor weather interferes with celestial navigation (obscured moon and stars) for these nocturnal seabirds flying between the sea and mountain breeding colonies. Disorientation impacts by artificial light sources is worsened during weather events. If you find downed shearwaters please rescue immediately for handover. Within the township shearwaters tend to be found in association with light sources, e.g. on roads in relation to street lights, in residential backyards and at businesses in regard to external lighting. In rural areas, shearwaters may become grounded at dairy farms. Thank you for helping Kaikōura's rare seabird 🙌
