The first sightings of the North Atlantic (Cory’s) shearwater, Calonectris diomedea (Scopoli, 1769), in the Australasian region were made 47-78 km off the Canterbury Bight on the east coast of the South Island, New Zealand. These birds were probably vagrants, and the species may also occur sporadically in Australian waters.
