This was my lifer Snow Petrel on my first Antarctica trip. This individual was well away from land while we were still in the Drake Passage approaching the Antarctic Peninsula. Later we saw many more. OK, I will test your patience with some scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for many weeks at least with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuckâ¦.I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have.

An adult Antarctic/Southern Fulmar was found by a local dog walker on Hokitika beach on the afternoon of 20 May 2016 in poor weather conditions. The bird was then handed to the Department of Conservation (Antje Wahlberg) who handed the bird over to wildlife rehabilitator Sabrina Luecht. The bird was in good physical condition and uninjured. However it was fatigued, hypothermic and slightly underweight. The bird was kept in care overnight to rest. It was rehydrated and fed, with the intention of releasing it the following morning in good weather conditions. The bird was last checked at 5am, at which point it appeared well, but was found dead at 9am. The bird was potentially an old individual coming to shore to die, or was extremely fatigued and hence stressed. Mortality is thus unknown. The dead specimen was frozen and returned to the Department of Conservation.
