Chatham Island taiko (Pterodroma magentae)

one of the rarest seabirds in the world, in recovery at the Wellington Zoo hospital. Pretty awful photo but the reflections off the glass were worse than normal (the one sunny day of the Wellington winter!) and this was the best I managed. Unfortunately the shots I got of the whole bird (looking very elegant I must say) were all useless.
