Occasional in regenerating broadleaved forest

Large leaves which appears to be normal up in the north.

2 chicks, about a week old. Low quality pics as it was getting dark. Built a rudimentary shelter for the chicks with a few logs, hope they make it. Parents around chasing BBGs.

We're on

Things might happen soon.

Looking good there

Keep your friend close but your enemies closer.

I think it's safe to say it: mission accomplished. 3 chicks fledged from the only breeding pair in Piha, nesting right in the middle of dogs off-leash area.

Karekare new recruitments, should fledge in the next days.

Two of the chicks chilling together and the third one under the nest cover. Adults around and looking tired, it's hot.

All three chicks safe and sound after a busy week. The three of them are able to do short flights.

Made it through the weekend. Waitangi day coming...

Our three chicks doing great, supervised by one of their parents. Three weeks old now.

The three chicks are doing great. Hanging around and within the nesting area with both parents keeping an eye on them.

The 3 chicks doing well and supervised by a parent. The other parent foraging near the water.

The whole family (2 adults + 3 chicks) outside the fenced area, heading to north Piha.
