Field Notes

Notes:

This picture was taken at Zealandia, Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, which is encapsulated by a 8.6 km predator-proof fence. We were advised there was a flightless Kererū hanging around one of the tracks, but not to worry as it was being taken care of.<br<br>http://www.visitzealandia.com/Site/Zeala... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karori_Wildlife_Sanctuary
