‘Bringing back the seabirds’ is the rallying call for conservationists working to restore Wellington’s Mana Island. The latest seabird to be brought back to Mana Island is one of New Zealand’s smallest – the white-faced storm petrel. A handful of these sparrow-sized birds already breed on the island, and the Friends of Mana Island are hoping the 260 chicks they have rehomed to the island in the past three years will soon give this number a welcome boost.
