[Tweeters] Zealandia

[Judith A. Howard via Tweeters]

I loved Louise’s post about Zealandia and the takahe chick that has just been announced.  We visited Zealandia last month and found it to be an utterly magical place.  We did not see the takahe, but did hear the morepork, the only native owl in New Zealand, and we also heard two kiwis.  Before it became dark on our nighttime walk, we saw a number of tuis, several varieties of shags, a saddleback, and other truly wondrous birds.  As the article mentioned, the creation of this eco-sanctuary has led to a bird-life boom in Wellington.  For any of you who might be visiting New Zealand, this is a must-see place.  Thanks for sharing this, Louise!
