  • BIRDS of CUVIER ISLAND by P.J. Bellingham*, T.G. Lovegrove**, J
    TANE 27, 1981 BIRDS OF CUVIER ISLAND by P.J. Bellingham*, T.G. Lovegrove**, J. McCallum, S.E. Pitt and I.C. Southey * Department of Botany, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland t Department of Zoology, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland Department of Geology, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland **RD 2, Waiotira, Northland SUMMARY Sixty species of birds have been recorded from Cuvier Island and surrounding waters during a series of expeditions from 1974 to 1980. INTRODUCTION Cuvier lies 40 km east of Cape Colville, the northern tip of the Coromandel Peninsula. The island is approximately 200 ha in area, with 180 ha forming the forested flora and fauna reserve, while the remainder is the grazed pastureland of the lighthouse station (see Fig. 1). Observations were compiled during a number of visits made by T.G.L. from 1974 to 1979,1.C.S. in August 1979, J. McC. in November to December 1979, and by P.J.B., J.McC, S.E.P. and I.C.S. during the Auckland University Field Club scientific trip from 21 to 26 May, 1980. Species nomenclature follows the Ornithological Society of New Zealand (1970). Apart from kiore (Rattus exulans), the island is free of introduced mammalian predators. Since goats and cats were exterminated in the early 1960s, the forest understory has regenerated rapidly making suitable habitat for a number of native birds. By 1968 Cuvier was considered suitable for North Island saddleback, and in January of that year 29 birds were released. In 1974, red-crowned parakeets were introduced. Recent ornithological studies included those of Blackburn (1967), McLean (1975), Jenkins (1976), Reed (1976), Lovegrove (1980), McLean and Jenkins (1980) and O'Callaghan (1980).

This report should be read in conjunction with the Coromandel Peninsula Thematic History and Consultant’s Summary Recommendation Report (2010), also prepared by Heritage Consultancy Services. In them a thematic approach has been taken to compiling historical information in a format that is best suited to identifying and interpreting historic heritage resources in the district. The principal recommendation made within this report is that the historic heritage resources of Thames and surrounding areas should be protected, actively managed and interpreted by the council on behalf of the community. Whilst scheduling of some historic buildings, sites and places on the District Plan is desirable, heritage values can also be conserved on council reserves and the DoC estate. The history of the locality may also be recorded and disseminated by the Thames Library, in partnership with The Treasury and The Coromandel Heritage Trust. Historic heritage resources in the area can be enhanced or undermined by new development, whether undertaken by the council or private landowners. It is therefore desirable that the history of the area is promoted within council and throughout the wider community in order that the future of local area settlements and their environs is based on an understanding of the past.
