Disperses widely over Southern Ocean after breeding; most birds probably moving E, perhaps in circumpolar
movement; race dabbenena probably stays mainly in S Atlantic and off South Africa; populations of Antipodes,
Campbell and Auckland IS apparently remain in Tasman Sea and S Pacific. Several records in N Hemisphere,
off Sicily, Portugal and California. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
