Most no larger than the bottlenose dolphins observed with them. Profile of the head of a calf visible in the second image.

Large mixed pod of these smaller animals, bottlenose dolphins and false killers observed foraging over a large area southeast of Kawau Island. Several cows with calves. SST 18.3 oC.

The last image shows false killers (ID confirmed from review of the drone footage - UoA permit) and bottlenose feeding together.

Sea birds associated with them included Buller's shearwaters, flesh-footed shearwaters, white-faced storm petrels and gannets. One group of Buller's shearwaters and a gannet observed feeding on the remains of a squid after the pod passed.
