About These Birds
Northern Fulmar
The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
Grey-faced Petrel
43 cm, wingspan 100–105 cm. Dark brown above with grey-brown face; paler underbody. Closely related to Kerguelen and Great-winged petrels. Breeds on rocky islands off northern New Zealand. Ranges in southwestern Pacific; feeds on squid and fish; visits colonies only at night.
