White-fronted terns and gannets are among the seabird species that breed in New Zealand and then migrate. It is mostly juveniles that leave, crossing the Tasman Sea to feed along the Australian coastline. Some banded dotterels also migrate to Australia, particularly those that breed in the South Island high country.
