Fiji Petrel Interview
I am pleased to announce a short interview with the main players of the recent discovery at sea of Fiji Petrel that I reported last week. Both Had0ram Shirihai and Tony Pym have kindly answered my questions. I meant to send this earlier, but had to leave for Cuzco for a few days.
If you have additional questions to ask Hadoram and Tony, please put them in the comment field and I will forward them.

10 Days of Seabird Documentation in Yasayasa Moala
NatureFiji-MareqetiViti recently took part in a seabird survey in Yasayasa Moala with Birdlife International-Pacific Secretariat.
On the invitation of Birdlife International-Pacific Secretariat, NatureFiji-MareqetiViti participated in a seabird survey amongst the islands of Moala, Totoya and Matuku. The results obtained, revealed that the waters between the islands of Totoya, Matuku and Moala are found to be important for seabirds, as a fair number of petrels were documented, namely the Tahiti petrel, Mottled petrel, and Collared Petrel, in the months between late April and early May. The most significant find was the sighting of a Fiji Petrel between the island of Totoya and Matuku, becoming the 3rd ever sighting recorded of this rare seabird.
