Watching pukeko social interactions took up a good piece of our time!
We also conducted a side project on supplemental feeding in endangered pateke.
The beach at Tawharanui is one of the main attractions of the park.
It's easy to see why!
It rains a lot, which means that there are also a lot of rainbows.

Tawharanui is an Open Sanctuary, and saddlebacks were recently re-introduced! For more information, check out this article.
