I wanted Penguins. The small group was a good counterpart to the large, convivial ABA Safari group of 98 birders. That’s a lot, and the organizers of the safari did an excellent job of creating an environment that offered small group birding during the day and a birders party every night. And Sunbirds.

Actually, it’s one I originally thought was endemic to the Chatham Islands, a group of islands to the east of the main islands that hosts endemic species like the Black Robin. Until recently the species certainly only hung on to existence on two small islands in that group, but this distribution is an artefact of a long decline.
