Part of a large whale skull found in small stream on beach on the West Coast. Approx 1.2m in length. Skull broken in places, with some rotten flesh present. Unsure whether Department Of Conservation (DOC) knows about it. I have not identified exact location, and will contact DOC.

Underwater recording of Weddell Seals by the McMurdo Oceanographic Observatory (www.moo-antarctica.net). Of potentially soniferous marine mammals, only Weddell seals occur in the area at this time of year. Verified also by regular visual/video observation. Hydrophone at 21m deep. (Attached photo is example of Weddell seal near the observatory site, but was not taken at the same time as the audio recording).

Petrel de Cook (Pterodroma cookii)Autor
alexedwardsDescripción
Honestly this dude just came to terrorise us while we were eating lunch.
A couple of petrels wandered (stumbled maybe a more appropriate description), out of the bush, at least one seemingly very attracted to the UE Boom playing music (Move on up by Curtis Mayfield, if anyone would like to repeat this test for science).
The petrel proceeded to sit right next to the speaker and snap at anyone who tried to come anyone near him. See last photos for the deadly attack launched upon a team mate innocently enjoying lunch

Obs for the right ootheca (egg mass). The left one looks like a South African ootheca (Miomantis caffra)? Both on the underside of a magnolia leaf.

This bird was first photographed and reported via the NZ Bird Identification Facebook group. Upon seeing this we made a visit to Waikanae Estuary and scanned the flock of White-fronted Terns several times before the bird flew in and landed amongst them around 11:45am. It then roosted for 45 minutes before leaving to feed in the channel with the majority of the tern flock.
Basic plumage marsh tern with extensive black headphone markings on head, darker grey upperparts than the similar White-winged black tern, along with a longer bill, darker legs, a grey rump, and grey shoulder tabs which are diagnostic for Black tern. This is likely the Eurasian subspecies Chlidonias niger niger owing to the pale underwings and relatively small shoulder tab markings. Would be the 1st record of this species for New Zealand if accepted.

First time to find velvet worm in my life.
The first photo is a homage to my friend @invertebratist.
Native beech forest in South Canterbury. Under a rotten log beside to walking track.
Probably this is 'Dunedin' peripatus.
15 pairs legs and brown based colors.
This is one of big happen in my life. I am very glad to found this crazy cool creature.

Not sure what to make of this one, found in a very isolated little area of creviced schist rock in the Waitaki Valley, between 20-30 km inland and only about 1 km south of the Waitaki River. Its size (SVL around 55-60 mm) would suggest an Alps (a number of adults including gravid females seen, confirming they are small), but its deep yellow eyes, toe shape and general colour pattern are quite unlike the Alps' among greywacke further west in the same valley, and I don't know of any alps anywhere having deep yellow eyes. Korero geckos are off to the south in the Kakanui Mts system, but although small for their species there they are still distinctly bigger then these ones and with rather different patterning. If I had to guess I'd probably go with aberrant Southern Alps gecko, maybe with some korero genetic influence? Superficially they're a little like the schist gecko, but surely much too isolated to be a population of them.
