| Lineage | In January 2017 a survey of sooty shearwaters was carried out on Kidney Island. In January 2018 a survey of burrowing petrels was carried out on Bird Island and Kidney Island was visited again to recover geolocators deployed on sooty shearwaters the previous summer. In 2018, on arrival at both islands, 15 Bushnell Aggressor HD camera traps were set up overlooking clusters of petrel burrows within a subsample of the survey plots. Plots were chosen to represent the full range of habitat types used by burrowing petrels on the islands. Cameras were mounted on 4' wooden fence posts, driven 1.5' into the ground (i.e. protruding 2.5'). If possible, they were aligned to have a clear view of 5 - 10 burrow entrances. Where necessary, a small amount of tussac foliage was cleared to avoid cameras being repeatedly tripped or obscured by wind-blown vegetation. Cameras were programmed to record a 30 second video clip when an animal moved into view as well as well as a video clip every 30 minutes during hours of darkness. Cameras were deployed for 5 days on Bird Island and 4 days on Kidney Island. |
