museums in london The Westland Petrel: Community Stories

Leon Dalziel, web-developer, conservationist and West-Coast resident recounts his experience of visiting the Westland Petrel colony at night. Accompanying Te Papa scientist Susan Waugh on research trips to the nesting site of these birds, he has been privileged to witness the birds as they return to their breeding site. Leon is part of a community group who are trying to raise the profile of the birds and instill a sense of local pride to have such magnificent seabirds on their doorstep. Early in 2015 they launched the Return of the Westland Petrel Festival, which they hope will be an annual event. Locals are able to witness these birds soaring in over the beach and the state highway at dawn and dusk every day during the breeding season. Te Papa website - https://www.tepapa.govt.nz
