At sea on three different "Ocean Wings" boat trips.

capense
Grey-faced Petrel
(Pterodroma gouldi)

Many of these birds congregate at commercial fishing boats for scraps of fish guts thrown over the side...
Fly to Christchurch (New Zealand, South Island), drive to Kaikoura (famous for whale and dolphin watching). Tours daily at 06:00, 09:00 and 13:00 if at least three passengers book. Costs $80 NZ for about three hours.
