100km of walks at dusk and dawn bringing awareness to our Kiwi

The photos is my happy grinning face after a successful two hours in the bush after dusk at Tāwharanui Regional Park. I saw one brown kiwi in all it's glory. Two rushed past ahead of us on the track but I only saw glimpses in the moonlight. There was plenty of rustling and foraging going on and you could hear their loud calls in the distance. They are so loud and I felt the sadness of how threatened they are. Kiwi are being driven to extinction by three main threats: predators, lost habitat, and fragmented kiwi populations. its our job as a community to stop this from happening.
