Shearwater is strongly associated with the marine environment, rarely seen inland.

Sea Association

Shearwaters migrate long distances, so they may appear seasonally in certain regions.

Migration Behavior

Shearwaters have a distinctive gliding flight close to water, which can help in identification.

Unique Flight

 If we look at distributions, in fact distributions change dramatically. And so one of the records that we had was this sooty shearwater, which undergoes these spectacular migrations all the way from New Zealand all the way up to Alaska and back again in search of endless summer as they complete their life cycles.
