My Holiday in Tāwharanui

September 11, 2018 Posted by Kiwi Conservation Club

By Magnolia (age 7)

I like playing with my cats (Honey Lemon and Black Cat), and my baby sister.

I like native birds, they are beautiful singers and New Zealand is a very special place for them. We are trying to attract native birds into our school. We have 2 tūī in the trees and some plovers on our field.

I saw a saddleback when I went for a walk at Tāwharanui with Nana, Aunty Susan, Russell, and my friends Ayla and Beau.

 

Tāwharanui is a nature reserve. That means there are no cats, stoats and ferrets and the birds are safe. We saw lots of tūī and pīwakawaka too.

 

This is a saddleback.

This is a tūī.

This is a pīwakawaka or fantail.

I saw kererū or woodpigeons when I went for walks to the beach with everyone.

 

Here is a picture of me  hiding in the drift wood castle!
