    New Zealand Comprehensive II Trip Report 31st October to 16th November 2016 (17 days) The Critically Endangered South Island Takahe by Erik Forsyth Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Erik Forsyth RBL New Zealand – Comprehensive II Trip Report 2016 2 Tour Summary New Zealand is a must for the serious seabird enthusiast. Not only will you see a variety of albatross, petrels and shearwaters, there are multiple- chances of getting out on the high seas and finding something unusual. Seabirds dominate this tour and views of most birds are alongside the boat. There are also several land birds which are unique to these islands: kiwis - terrestrial nocturnal inhabitants, the huge swamp hen-like Takahe - prehistoric in its looks and movements, and wattlebirds, the saddlebacks and Kokako - poor flyers with short wings Salvin’s Albatross by Erik Forsyth which bound along the branches and on the ground. On this tour we had so many highlights, including close encounters with North Island, South Island and Little Spotted Kiwi, Wandering, Northern and Southern Royal, Black-browed, Shy, Salvin’s and Chatham Albatrosses, Mottled and Black Petrels, Buller’s and Hutton’s Shearwater and South Island Takahe, North Island Kokako, the tiny Rifleman and the very cute New Zealand (South Island wren) Rockwren. With a few members of the group already at the hotel (the afternoon before the tour started), we jumped into our van and drove to the nearby Puketutu Island. Here we had a good introduction to New Zealand birding. Arriving at a bay, the canals were teeming with Black Swans, Australasian Shovelers, Mallard and several White-faced Herons.

  • Field Guides Birding Tours New Zealand 2011
    Field Guides Tour Report NEW ZEALAND 2011 Oct 27, 2011 to Nov 14, 2011 George Armistead & Andrew Crossland There must be a Wrybill in there somewhere! A huge flock of shorebirds takes flight at Miranda, one of NZ's premier shorebird sites. (Photo by guide George Armistead) Kia Ora, one and all! Our New Zealand 2011 adventure went off without a hitch. We arrived in Auckland fresh on the heels of the All Blacks victory in the Rugby World Cup, and found the kiwis in high spirits. This in spite of some anxiety over an upcoming national election, and an oil spill that had spoiled the shores of the Bay of Plenty. Combine these events with the recent earthquakes that had rocked Christchurch violently, and it indeed seemed a momentous time for those in New Zealand; residents and visitors alike. Perhaps blissfully oblivious to it all, the birds, thankfully, cooperated marvelously. New Zealand lived up to its reputation as a place harboring incredible, breath-taking scenery, and we enjoyed beautiful backdrops while soaking up sightings of unique strange landbirds, some of the world's rarest shorebirds, and of course a boatload of seabirds. Around Auckland, after tallying our first New Zealand Dotterels and Fernbirds, we went a-sea to visit the incomparable island of Tiritiri Matangi. We had many targets on this unique reserve, and were thankful to connect with nearly all of them. Nothing could top "Greg" the Takahe, but seeing some baby Blue (Little) Penguins in a nest and tallying a fantastic pair of Kokako, while being overrun with Tuis, Bellbirds, Stitchbirds and Saddlebacks was simply exhilarating.

  • New Zealand Rep 2015
    A glorious Yellow-eyed Penguin on its nesting grounds (Mark Van Beirs) NEW ZEALAND 26 OCTOBER – 14 NOVEMBER 2015 LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS assisted by MARK AYRE and CHRIS GASKIN 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: NEW ZEALAND www.birdquest-tours.com New Zealand truly is a very special country for international birdwatchers. Although it has lost 58 endemic bird species since it was colonized by the Maori c1000 years ago, it still holds a splendid selection of forest endemics and without a doubt the most astounding variety of seabirds on our globe. We managed to see a very high percentage of these endemics and pride of place must certainly go to the four species of kiwi (out of five) that we managed to see at close range! The experience with the South Island Kiwi on a remote beach on Stewart Island will never be forgotten, and we also savoured to the full the smashing encounters with Little Spotted Kiwi on Tiritiri Matangi island, with the very rarely seen Great Spotted Kiwi at Arthur’s Pass and with the Okarito Kiwi at Okarito. The magnificent seabird spectacle of dozens of albatrosses, petrels, shearwaters and storm petrels at very close range on our different pelagics in the Hauraki Gulf, off Kaikoura and around Stewart Island were truly out of this world. Although some of the endemic landbirds now only occur on offshore islands or in some remote southern beech or podocarpus forests, we very much enjoyed the amazing dawn chorus of singing Tuis, Bellbirds, Saddlebacks and Robins. New Zealand is home to six endemic bird families: the Kiwis (Apterygidae), the New Zealand Parrots (Strigopidae), the New Zealand Wattlebirds (Callaeiidae), the Stitchbird (Notiomystidae), the New Zealand Wrens (Acanthisittidae) and the New Zealand Creepers (Mohuidae).

  • Assessing the Impact of Human Disturbance on Penguins
    ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF HUMAN DISTURBANCE ON PENGUINS URSULA ELLENBERG Photo: Hermann Ellenberg, Sandfly Bay, 2007 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand January 2009 Meinen Eltern Gunde und Hermann Ellenberg Assessing the impact of human disturbance on penguins Abstract Nature conservation places great hopes on ecotourism, yet despite increasing pressure on the Earth’s last wild areas, there is insufficient knowledge about human disturbance impact, and hence, visitor management must often remain inadequate. Penguins are an important tourism attraction. Lack of overt behavioural responses to human proximity at breeding sites has led to the common public misconception that penguins would be little affected by human visitation. However, even a single one-off disturbance or a series of low-key disturbances can have far-reaching impacts that are often not immediately discernable to the people involved. I studied behavioural and physiological stress responses of three penguin species that according to anecdotal evidence respond very differently to human proximity. While behaviour could give an indication of the relative severity of a disturbance stimulus, measuring physiological responses was a more objective and powerful tool to quantify stress in all three species studied. As accumulating effects of human disturbance may affect breeding populations, I also monitored a range of reproductive parameters at sites that provided similar breeding habitat and overlapping foraging grounds yet were exposed to different levels of human visitation. Human disturbance can be interpreted as perceived predation risk. Similar to antipredator responses, reaction to disturbance stimuli can affect individual fitness via energetic and lost opportunity costs of risk avoidance.

Our North Island tour is designed to seek almost every possible endemic and take full RBL New Zealand – South Island Endemics & Extension Itinerary 2 advantage of fabulous scenery. Beginning in Auckland, we target North Island Brown Kiwi, Whitehead and North Island Saddleback as well as a visit to the fabled Tiritiri Matangi Island where we will bird this predator-free reserve for the prehistoric South Island Takahe, strange North Island Kokako and Stitchbird, before combing the Miranda shoreline for the bizarre Wrybill and numerous waders. A pelagic excursion then takes place in the Hauraki Gulf in search of the Black and Cook’s Petrel, Buller’s Flesh-footed and Fluttering Shearwater. From here we visit the scenic Tongariro National Park in the centre of the North Island where we check fast-flowing streams for the rare Blue Duck while nearby forests hold Rifleman and Tomtit. We finish our time on the North Island visiting the famous Zealandia Reserve searching for the endangered Little Spotted Kiwi, New Zealand Falcon, Red-crowned Parakeet, New Zealand Kaka and Stitchbird We start our South Island tour in the beautiful grasslands of the Mackenzie region of the South Island where we will take in the beauty of the Southern Alpine rang, while looking for the critically endangered Black Stilt, before hiking through pristine Red Beech forest surrounded by breath-taking glacier-lined mountains, where the massive Kea (an Alpine parrot) can be found.
