10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 16, 2016
Like most Kiwis I was shocked by the pair of earthquakes that laid Christchurch low in 2010 and 2011. Kaikoura is New Zealand’s finest birding destination, and seeing it brought low is a terrible blow. That event also had me swearing a lot this week, especially when it struck. Cape Petrels aren’t rare, but are fun.

This being a life bird for me I had no choice but to take the drive. The good news is that these majestic birds have been increasing in numbers every year! The 2010 continental estimate of trumpeter swan abundance was 46,225, an increase of 33% since 2005 and the highest recorded since the surveys began in 1968 3. v=kq1bx7Ic2FY.
