Had a really nice morning at Tawharunui Regional Park. The beaches were busy with school groups, but the nature walk (predator fenced) was very quiet. We saw tūī, korimako/bellbirds, tieke/saddlebacks, hihi/stitchbirds, pātete/brown teal, kereru, piwakawaka ... and takahe! We've seen them in this park before, but only a glimpse in the distance. Today they were ambling along very close to us and quite unconcerned. #Birds #NZBirds
