Restless New Zealand Fantails

10,000 Birds

AUGUST 7, 2013

I finally managed to get some photos as I found a pair of fantails in the Marlborough sounds that were very interested in me as a source of bugs (they will often follow trampers in the forest to collect flying insects) and being out in the open there was a limited supply of perches and plenty of good light.

10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 7, 2014

The bird today is documented physically by only a single specimen (a second was lost), but where the specimens were collected — and therefore where this species actually lived before its extinction — is unknown. Specimens were collected in 1904, and the bird has not been recorded with certainty since.
