fly on a north-south axis. Birds that breed in the South Island lowlands, the northern South Island and the southern two-thirds of the North Island mostly stay on the New Zealand coast, throughout the country, with some moving to harbours and estuaries in the northern North Island.

Populations in the Chatham and Auckland Islands generally move only locally throughout the year, although a few from Auckland Island venture to Campbell Island.
