# A new poster from Jamie Watts features the albatrosses of New Zealand

![NZ albies](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Posters_Books/NZ_albies.jpg) 

 Illustrator [Jamie Watts](http://www.jamiewatts.co.uk/) has produced a new poster in his [albatross series](https://www.acap.aq/world-albatross-day/images-and-artwork/77-wad2020-posters/3578-jamie-watts-full-colour-posters-will-help-identify-albatrosses-at-sea?highlight=WyJ3YXR0cyIsIndhdHRzJyJd), this time illustrated 12 taxa that breed in New Zealand. The adult birds are illustrated standing and in flight.

 The new release comes at a good time with a just few days left to vote for the Antipodean Albatross as your [No. 1 preference](https://www.acap.aq/latest-news/3829-it-s-bird-of-the-year-competition-time-again-in-new-zealand-and-you-can-vote-for-the-endangered-antipodean-albatross) in New Zealand’s ‘Bird of the Year (‘[BOTY 2020](https://www.birdoftheyear.org.nz/)’) competition.  So far it seems this [globally Endangered](http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/factsheet/antipodean-albatross-diomedea-antipodensis) and [Nationally Critical](http://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/antipodean-albatross) species is leading the competition.  The New Zealand NGO [Southern Seabirds Solutions Trust](https://www.catchfishnotbirds.nz/)says on its [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/SeabirdSmart/) that if “the Toroa (Antipodean Albatross) wins it will help … to attract support for important work to improve fishing practices on high seas vessels.”
