This week we look at Pterodroma inexpectata, Kōrure or Mottled Petrel! The short black billed seabird is endemic to the country, breeding only at a few sites in southern New Zealand.
DOC’s Threatened Species Ambassador, Nicola Toki tells us more about the bird and also some great news - the first ever return of mottled petrel to the mainland in Maungaharuru Range in Hawke's Bay.
