  • The Hunters' Tryst
    The Hunters’ Tryst Publisher Billy Hunter C.O. Editor Bill Hunter 1st Edition—Internet November 2006 Dear Clans folk It has been sometime since I wrote to you all and hope to find every Hunter in good heart. I know you will join me in thanking all our Clan members who have attended Games over the last summer, for their support of our Clan and their enthusiasm and time and effort. It is very much appreciated. Being a member of Clan Hunter should be a pleasure and interesting. Meeting up at Highland Games is a great way to re-affirm our interest in our Scottish heri- tage, meet those with similar interest and have a good time. Recently, the St. Andrew’s Society of Manchester have invited myself to be the First lady Chief Guest of the Society. They are a very prestigious St. Andrews Society, which started in 1876. It is a very great honour for myself as Clan Chief and for the Hunter Clan. The dinner will be held on St. Andrew’s day, which is exceptional too. Next year. 2007, is our International Gathering at Hunterston Castle. It is also the celebration of the Hunters having been at Hunterston for 900 years It is interesting to think back to the days when the first Hunter, Norman Venator arrived at Hunterston, which was then marsh and woodland and to look at the Hunters now, who live in many countries. I’m sure that they would be proud that we have grown in numbers and still value our ancestry.

We also had considerable technical input from a range of people on various aspects of the work, including Hans and Annie Wapstra, Richard Schahinger, Tim Rudman, John Church, and Anni McCuaig. We acknowledge the hard work over a number of years from the Sea Level Rise Impacts Working Group: Oberon Carter, Louise Gilfedder, Felicity Faulkner, Lynne Sparrow (DPIPWE), Eric Woehler (BirdLife Tasmania) and Chris Sharples (University of Tasmania).

  • The Sooty Shearwater in New Zealand
    THE CONDOR VOLUME 46 MAY-JUNE, 1944 NUMBER 3 THE SOOTY SHEARWATER IN NEW ZEALAND By L. E. RICHDALE The Sooty Shearwater (Pufinus g&us) is the most common sea bird in New Zealand waters, where there must be several million individuals. From the last few days in September to the middle of November an observer on any of the headlands of the Otago Peninsula, New Zealand, may see this speciesflying south in an endless stream. The flight, however, is not continuous, for many pauses are made for feeding. It is on such occasionsthat huge flocks are noticed resting on the waters of various bays along the coast. This shearwater is locally known as the mutton-bird and the young are taken an- nually for food by those Maoris who have acquired ancestral rights. Europeans who are married to such natives also have a legal right to participate in these activities. Beginning on the first of April of each year, the season extends to about the middle of May. Although no exact tally is kept, it is estimated that nearly 250,000 birds are taken in a good season. The term “mutton-bird” is usually reserved for Pufinus griseus but to the Maori several species are included. In fact anything that is edible and can be “bagged up” is a mutton-bird. In this connection speciesinvolved in southern New Zealand include a bird known as the Korure, which is either Pterodroma inexpecta or P. cookii, or both. I have not yet had an opportunity to verify this point but both species live on some of the mutton-bird islands.

Mark Edward Dickson Lord Howe Island, southwest Pacific 1 Abstract Lord Howe Island, situated 600 km east of Australia, provides a unique opportunity to study the development of rock coast landforms and the long-term planation of an oceanic island. The island is a remnant of a large shield volcano that was built by late-Miocene hotspot volcanism. Since this time, the island has gradually migrated northward into warmer seas, and marine planation, operating at a decreasing rate over time, has reduced the island to a vestige of the original volcano. Lord Howe Island currently lies at the southern limit to coral growth.
