We departed from Fiji on the evening of the 22nd and headed south towards New Zealand. After visits to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch we then crossed the Tasman Sea, via the Cook Strait to our final call of Sydney, Australia. One family of seabirds I was hoping to connect with was the Cookilaria Petrels. Glad to report we had decent numbers of both Black-winged Petrel and Cook's Petrel, along with smaller numbers of what I'm hoping are Gould's petrels.
