Botanist Carol shared fascinating plant facts and described the extraordinary regeneration process taking place. It was wonderful to have Tina Troup speaking about current and historic birdlife in this area which sparked imaginations about the reintroduction of mohua (yellowhead) if we could control pest pressure. Ruud Kleinpaste was as entertaining as always championing the often-overlooked invertebrate world that is crucial to overall ecosystem health.

This changed when she became a regular visitor to gardens of tūī enthusiasts in Takamatua in early 2016. Was Georgina settled in elsewhere on the Peninsula for those years when we didn’t see her? Or was she just not in the right place to catch the attention of anyone in our observer network? We’ll never know for sure, but her story highlights how mobile these birds are, and how valuable it is to keep up the community monitoring of banded tūī.
