[Tweeters] Birding NZ?

[Teresa Michelsen via Tweeters]

If you mean Wrybill Birding Tours - they are the best. Went on a month-long tour with them top to bottom NZ, including a lot of pelagic trips. We were the first tour group to see all 5 endemic kiwis! And one of their guys rediscovered the New Zealand Storm-Petrel in outer islands of Aukland Bay - it took a while for them to convince the birding authorities around the world because it had been over 150 years since it had been seen. Proof that rat eradication works!

Hi all,

   Anyone out there used "Wry" birding tours in New Zealand?  Good experience?  If not

Wry have you used a different tour operator in NZ?


   NZ is a fantastic place - with the one large drawback that it is an 18-hour flight to get

there (or more).  But the number and variety of endemic species in NZ is amazing and

the ability to get to/see/hear them is great.

- Jim
