The votes have been counted..... if you hadn't already heard, or suspected, the Pลซteketeke has been crowned Bird of the Century!
While this magnificent bird is not a local resident, you can spot many other native species on Hauraki Gulf island sanctuaries Tiritiri Matangi and Rotoroa. These predator-free islands are home to kลkako, takahฤ, tฤซeke, weka, kororฤ and more.
If you haven't been yet make sure you put it on your summer to do list!
