I like this photo very much! The only kokako I've seen were the ones at Mt. Bruce. It must be nice seeing them in such a large space.

It is pretty cool, both watching them fly, and hop through the trees and rails. They are my favourite native birds. The only other places I have seen them are Auckland Zoo and Otorohanga Kiwi House.
 
I've seen them in a much bigger space. Its called 'the wild'.:D

I'm hoping to do that sometime within the next year too.

In the meantime - great photo Zooboy!

show-off. I don't get to the North Island much so haven't managed that yet, but this September (oh, only about one month away now!) I should see some in the wild, finally.

(Great photo zooboy of a stunning bird.)

Did you ever get to see them in the wild after all Chlidonias?
 
I modified my post apparently a second after you posted because it was ambiguous.

Anyway, no photos?? Why not? No camera at the time?
one pair I didn't have my camera out, another pair not close enough for photos, and with the other sightings the birds weren't in any good positions for photography (up in the canopy, so fine for viewing but not for photos at all)
