A chick close to fledging. One of several that are the result of a past translocation of this species from the sole natural population on Hokorereoro to other predator-free sites on the other islands in the Chatham Islands group. This chick was shown to the Chatham Islands Conservation Board by a member of the Taiko trust who manage this site for this and other threatened sea birds.
3546/7 This looks like a juv (prominent gape), perhaps this species?
This is the same bird as I saw freshly killed yesterday, now just a pile of feathers. Something has eaten the carcass.
