Otorohanga Kiwis


The Kiwi is the national emblem of New Zealand, but most species of Kiwi are now endangered in the wild. There are several places with breeding programmes and this Kiwi House has a spectacular selection of native and introduced birds. This kiwi is kept in the dark and is very active when woken up. Fun to photograph with hardly any light. Can you spot the New Zealand pidgeon?
