  • New Zealand Comprehensive II Trip Report 31St October to 16Th November 2016 (17 Days)
    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.

A total of 141 species (including 14 ferns) were Motuora Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf southwest of recorded. Exotic plants confined to the gardens Kawau Island, approximately 3km from Mahurangi around the buildings at Home Bay were not included Heads, and 5km from Wenderholm Regional Park, in Dowding’s (1988) list. Dowding (1988) commented Waiwera. This 80ha island is long and narrow on four adventive species that were “well-established” (approximately 2km x c. 600m at its widest) with a and that “may present problems” (presumably for a relatively flat top, reaching 75m asl. The land rises future restoration project). These species were abruptly, in places precipitously, from the shoreline so boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera), boxthorn that the area of the undulating ‘level’ top is (Lycium ferocissimum), gorse (Ulex europaeus) and comparatively extensive. Composed of sedimentary kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum). All four strata from the Pakiri formation of the Waitemata species still require ongoing control. However, as a Group (Lower Miocene age, approximately 20 million years old), Motuora is geologically similar to other result of ongoing weed eradication endeavours, inner Hauraki gulf islands such as Tiritiri Matangi, boxthorn has been reduced to a few isolated sites, Kawau, Waiheke and Motuihe Islands (Ballance 1977; and boneseed once widespread on the island is Edbrooke 2001). considerably reduced also, occurring in high densities now only on the northern end of the island (Lindsay History 2006). Gorse and kikuyu are controlled where these Motuora Island was farmed, from as early as 1853 species inhibit revegetation plantings.

  • Auckland Region
    © Lonely Planet Publications 96 lonelyplanet.com 97 AUCKLAND REGION Auckland Region AUCKLAND REGION Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers, according to its Maori name, Tamaki Makaurau. In fact, her lovers so desired this beautiful place that they fought over her for centuries. It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Its two magnificent harbours frame a narrow isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. From any of its numerous vantage points you’ll be astounded at how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island. As a result, water’s never far away – whether it’s the ruggedly beautiful west-coast surf beaches or the glistening Hauraki Gulf with its myriad islands. The 135,000 pleasure crafts filling Auckland’s marinas have lent the city its most durable nickname: the ‘City of Sails’. Within an hour’s drive from the high-rise heart of the city are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, deserted beaches, wineries and wildlife reserves. Yet big-city comforts have spread to all corners of the Auckland Region: a decent coffee or chardonnay is usually close at hand. Yet the rest of the country loves to hate it, tut-tutting about its traffic snarls and the supposed self-obsession of the quarter of the country’s population that call it home. With its many riches, Auckland can justifiably respond to its detractors, ‘Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful’. HIGHLIGHTS Going with the flows, exploring Auckland’s fascinating volcanic

However the Botanical Society field trip to Kawau Island led by Rhys Gardner in July 1997 presented no problems and we were blessed with a still mostly sunny day. This island has a unique flora in the Auckland region. There is a fascinating array of historical plantings and these are one of the most obvious landscape features as the ferry pulls into Mansion House Bay. Lance Goffat Hall is reporting below on the historic species visited on this trip. There is a proliferation of naturalised plant species on the island and this gives us some insight into the possible future of ecosystem composition in the Auckland region if weed species are not controlled.

The Mahurangi Purchase, completed in 1854, spanned from Te Arai Point in the north, to the northern shoreline of the Waitematā. The area referred to by the settlers as Mahurangi, however, was much smaller, as Dr Ronald Locker, A history of the Mahurangi in Jade River: A History of the Mahurangi, states: The Bay (or Bight) of Mahurangi meant to early [European] mariners, the enclosed waters from Kawau to Tiritiri Matangi.1 The area generally considered to be Mahurangi has probably shrunk, but the circulation area of local newspaper Mahurangi Matters extends from Mangawhai in the north, south to the Waiwera River, at which point its sister title, the Hibiscus Coast Matters takes over.

  • Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan
    Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan JUNE 2007 Motuora Native Species Restoration Plan By Robin Gardner-Gee, Sharen Graham, Richard Griffiths, Melinda Habgood, Shelley Heiss Dunlop and Helen Lindsay MOTUORA RESTORATION SOCIETY (INC) PO Box 100-132, NSMC, Auckland. Foreward Deciding to write a Restoration Plan for Motuora was a huge undertaking for a voluntary group, especially since most of those whose help we needed already had busy lives. The project required surveys on the island to establish what plants and animals were already there, followed by much discussion and the writing of the various sections. These sections then had to be edited to make a unified whole. This document could not have been written without the enthusiasm, knowledge, and commitment of a group of keen environmentalists who put in long hours to produce the Restoration Plan. The Motuora Restoration Society thanks the many people and organizations who have provided information, advice and comment on this document. Particular thanks to: Robin Gardner-Gee for her invertebrate knowledge Sharen Graham for her bird knowledge Richard Griffiths for pulling the document together to present an overview of the whole island ecology Melinda Habgood for her reptile knowledge Shelley Heiss-Dunlop for her plant knowledge Helen Lindsay for her input into the plant section and for co-ordinating the project especially in the beginning Te Ngahere Native Forest Management for supporting this project Department of Conservation staff for support and encouragement. The Motuora Restoration Society thanks you all for your generosity in sharing your learning and experience. Ray Lowe Chairman Motuora Restoration Society i ii Executive Summary Motuora is an 80 hectare island in the Hauraki Gulf to the south of Kawau Island.
