New Zealand

A seasonal guide to New Zealand pelagic birding: when the Subantarctic expedition season opens, when NZ Storm-Petrel peaks off Northland, when Royal Albatrosses are closest at Kaikoura, and how each region's calendar differs.

A guide to New Zealand's top pelagic birding trips, from Kaikoura's daily albatross runs and the Petrel Station's rare North Island seabirds to Dunedin's subantarctic specialists and Stewart Island's albatross-rich Foveaux Strait.
