Rappelling Down a Cliff to Visit Fairy Prions

Tune into Nature with Karthic

Show Notes

Ever since finding a colony of Fairy Prions, a type of small seabird on a cliff in Dunedin, Graeme Loh has been working to explore the birds for 30 years.

This is the only mainland colony of Fairy Prions in all of Aotearoa NZ, and Graeme has been consistently working to unravel interesting information on these secretive seabirds.
