  • New Zealand, November 2010 Ian Reid I Had Never Harboured Any
    New Zealand, November 2010 Ian Reid I had never harboured any great desire to go to New Zealand, and it certainly -- and in retrospect, surprisingly -- never featured for me as a possible birding destination. However when I was invited to give a keynote presentation at a conference in Queenstown I realised I should look into what the country, especially South Island, had to offer birding-wise. Extensive research on birdforum, birding-nz and reading trip reports made me realise to my shame that this was a prime destination, and I should do what I could to take in at least some of the key sites. In the end, immediately pre- and post-conference (and one afternoon during) I packed in a huge amount at every opportunity, and although it was not quite a clean-up trip, it was staggeringly good considering the time I had available. Day 1, 6/11/2010 The morning of my intended travel I woke to the news that a Qantas A380 had shed one of its engines mid flight over Indonesia, narrowly escaping a crash and massive loss of life. Qantas’ entire fleet of A380s was grounded. I breathed a sigh of relief that I had booked QF2, to Sydney via Bangkok, a Boeing 747 and unaffected by the grounding other than having passengers displaced from the Singapore leg. This ingenious bit of foresight also scored me some cheeky and utterly gripping stopover birds on my return leg – but that is a different report… After 30 hours in the air, by mid- afternoon on my third calendar day of the trip I was finally approaching NZ, greeted by my first glimpse of the incredible scenery that would be the backdrop for my conference and birding over the next week or two.

  • Te Anau – Fiordland
    Community – Kea Project Plan Fiordland/Te Anau Funded by: Department of Conservation Community Fund (DOC CF) Period: 1 December 2015 – 31 October 2017. Key contact person: Kea Conservation Trust – Tamsin Orr-Walker – [email protected]; Ph 0274249594 Aim The aim of the Community – Kea Project Plan is to i) facilitate long-term community kea conservation initiatives and ii) to change the way we think, act and live with kea in our communities. This will be actioned through development of collaborative Project Plans across the South Island. Each community plan will address concerns specific to the local community and threats to the resident kea population. Project Background This initial project plan outline has been developed as a result of discussions with communities during the Kea Conservation Trust’s (KCT) Winter Advocacy Tour - 20 July – 3 August 2015. The tour was funded by Dulux and supported by Department of Conservation (DOC). The tour theme, “Building a future with kea”, aimed to promote a new MOU between communities and kea. This initiative is in line with the new Strategic Plan for Kea Conservation (refer attached draft document), objective 3: to i) increase positive perceptions of kea and reduce conflict and ii) facilitate formation of community led kea conservation initiatives. Local Community – Kea Project Plans will be activated by two Community Engagement Coordinator’s (CEC’s) based in the following areas: 1) Upper half of the South Island: Northern region (Nelson/ Motueka/ Kahurangi), Central North (Nelson Lakes/ Murchison/Arthur’s Pass/Christchurch/Mt Hutt) and upper West Coast (Greymouth and Hokitika). There is also the potential to include Kaikoura at a later date (the eastern most population of kea).
