Mapping the Nocturnal Transit Corridor of Tītī Across the Auckland–Northland Isthmus - Project Report released from The Seabird Trust

The first season of the tītī / Cook’s petrel Mainland Flyway project has revealed important new insights into this little‑known nocturnal movement corridor across the Auckland–Northland Isthmus.
