Black & Grey-Faced Petrels

The black petrel used to breed in inland areas of New Zealand's mainland, but these days it's known to breed only on Great Barrier and Little Barrier Islands.

On Great Barrier, the black petrel's main nesting area is on Mt Hobson in the upper reaches of the Awana catchment where about 800 pairs breed.
