Thursday, 10 March 2016
Room 11 went to Tiritiri Matangi Island. The students had fun looking and listening to the New Zealand birds that live there.
We first spotted a Tui. We loved the blue black feathers on its back.
Next we saw a New Zealand Wood Pigeon also called the Kereru. It is is a plump purple and bottle-green pigeon with a white bib, and red eyes, bill and legs.
The next bird we saw was the New Zealand Grey Robin. It is also called a toutouwai. Our pictures of the robin were all blurred so we dont have any to put up here.
Then we saw the Saddleback. Also called the Tieke, the saddleback are glossy black with chestnut coloured feathers on its back that looks like a saddle.
After looking at these awesome birds, some of us fell asleep on the ferry back to Auckland.

We were also very lucky to see the rarest bird in New Zealand. This bird is called the stichbird or the Hihi. We saw the female bird. I think the brightly coloured male was hiding!

I had a great time a Tiritiri Matangi and I did feel a little tired but anyway I hope I could go there again.
