Native birds flocking back to Wellington

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Rewind five years seeing a rare kārearea (NZ falcon) gorging on a pigeon in central Wellington would have been out of the question.

In recent weeks the Wellington City Council has twice filmed a kārearea chomping on a pigeon. A council report notes that kārearea are not the only native bird making a comeback. Tūī, kākā, Kererū, korimako and kākāriki are all doing well.

What birds are you seeing in your garden?
