One response to “Hundreds of Broad-billed Prions blown ashore in New Zealand”
The number of prions now being reported washed up in New Zealand are incredible. Here’s just one example I have lifted from birdingNZ.net:
Waiterere Beach Distance (km) – 1.5 Broad-billed Prion – 730 Salvin’s Prion – 15 Fairy Prion – 36 Diving petrel – 4 TOTAL – 796 Birds/km – 531
