Superb day (after a week of blurk weather) - 15 students and five adults. Typically, I didn't take any photos of the island - we saw Te Rauparaha's island that he usually chose to live on too.
 |
| Getting the talk about conservation on the island - we heard and saw some Saddlebacks - Tieke. This was cool as I'd never seen them. They've only been able to live there since the rats were eliminated as they tend to try to make friends with them (and then get eaten) |

| In the visitors shelter - got a good taste of what to be looking for as we went up to the top. |
 |
| At the top - Tuteremoana peak. A stiff 501 m, climb, took about 1 hour 20. Not a bad effort.
We'd seen Saddleback. Wekas, Kākāriki, Kākā, Bellbirds, Tui and heard Tomtits
Just been trying to put a couple of video clips in of Stitchbrids and a Weka but the technology is too smart for me
