Aotearoa New Zealand has a diverse range of bird species but is
especially renowned for its seabirds. Fifteen of the world's 18
penguin species have been recorded in the New Zealand region. Nine
of these species breed here. Of petrels, 40 of the world's 127
species breed in the New Zealand region, some on the mainland or
nearby islands where they can be seen with ease, and many more are
throughout the Southern Ocean. Twelve of the world's 21 albatross
species nest in New Zealand and of those seven do not nest
elsewhere. As well as these specific species, the book covers 50
sites on the North and South Islands, Rakiura/Stewart Island and
Rekohu/Chatham Islands that are best for birdwatching. Detailed
descriptions of each site cover the terrain, tracks and trails
where certain species are likely to be encountered. Particular
species for each site are highlighted. A fact file for each site
lists land or sea access; type of habitat, best time to visit,
facilities and accommodation. Key species checklists are provided
for each site and particular ones are highlighted with detailed
summaries. The second edition is fully updated by Oscar Thomas with
90 new photographs and with three new sites.
