Hutton's Shearwater
The Hutton's Shearwater (Puffinus huttoni) is a species of seabird in the family Procellariidae. Its common and specific name commemorates F. W. Hutton, a former curator of the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch.
Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross
The Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche carteri) is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks.

Northern Royal Albatross
The Northern Royal Albatross or Toroa,Diomedea sanfordi, is a large seabird from the albatross family. It was split from the closely related Southern Royal Albatross as recently as 1998, though not all scientists support that conclusion and consider both of them to be subspecies of the Royal Albatross.

The Sooty Albatross, Dark-mantled Sooty Albatross or Dark-mantled Albatross,Phoebetria fusca, is a species of bird in the albatross family. They breed on sub-Antarctic islands and range at sea across the Southern Ocean from South America to Australia.
