It often feeds in large flocks over tide rips near offshore rocks and islands. Slightly smaller than a redbilled gull, fairy prions are very similar in appearance to the five other prion species: blue-grey and black above, and white below, with blue bill and legs. This colouration and their habit of flying along wave troughs make prions difficult to follow with binoculars from a moving boat deck. The Poor Knights Islands are the only northern breeding site, but fairy prions breed in burrows and rock crevices on many islands from Cook Strait south, including on the Chatham Islands and several subantarctic island groups. The largest colony holds an estimated 1. 8 million pairs.

new zealand birds online www. nzbirdsonline. org. nz Population There may be as many as 5 million pairs of fairy prions in the New Zealand region. The largest population is on Stephens Island, with 1. 83 million pairs estimated. Other large colonies include Mangere Island (c. 40, 000 pairs), and 1. 5 million pairs were estimated on Green Island, Foveaux Strait in 1941. Fairy prions are the most common bird found dead on New Zealand beaches, at an average rate of 0. 56 birds per km. Threats and conservation Fairy prions are likely to have bred on many coastal headlands before human arrival in New Zealand. Apart from on a few inaccessible cliff ledges on Otago Peninsula, fairy prions have since been extirpated from the mainland by introduced predators. Their main natural predators at their island breeding sites are subantarctic skuas and swamp harriers. Introductions of feral cats, weka or rats decimated or extirpated fairy prion populations on many muttonbird islands around Stewart Island. Few actions specifically targeted at conservation of fairy prions have been undertaken. These included translocation of 240 near fully-grown chicks from Stephens Island to Mana Island during 2002 -04 in an attempt to establish a new population, and installation of nest boxes at a cliff-ledge colony on Otago Peninsula. Other more generic island restoration projects (especially pest mammal and weka eradications) have and will benefit fairy prion populations, including on Stephens Island, Mangere Island on several muttonbird islands near Stewart Island. Breeding Fairy prions are colonial breeders, nesting in short burrows or rock crevices, mainly on small islands. The breeding season is earlier in the north, with peak laying of the single egg in mid-October at the Poor Knights, and early November on the Snares Islands. Incubation is shared and takes 44 -54 days. The chick is left unattended during daylight when only 1 -5 days old. One or both parents visit most nights and feed the chick by regurgitation right through to fledging at 43 -56 days old. Young birds return to colonies when 2 -3 years old, and first breed when 3 -4 years old. Behaviour and ecology
new zealand birds online www. nzbirdsonline. org. nz Fairy prions excavate their own burrows, or utilise caves and rock crevices. They breed as monogamous pairs, which typically remain together over many seasons. Fairy prions visit breeding sites after dark and depart before dawn, or stay in burrows or nest crevices during daylight. Food Fairy prions mainly eat small pelagic crustaceans, along with small fish and squid. The small krill species Nyctiphanes australis is by far the predominant species eaten in New Zealand, followed by pelagic amphipods and copepods.
