Checking on our nesters for the 2022-23 season
Here’s an update on nest status. Clutch 2 nests are well under way now. We’re keeping a close eye on Trick, as data from recent monitoring indicates that he has triggered a hatch. He is living up to his name and proving to be rather ‘tricky’.
We’ll be targeting some of these nests to lift the eggs for ONE (Operation Nest Egg), where the eggs will be hatched at the Crombie Lockwood Kiwi Burrow in Wairakei and the chicks crèched to release weight at the Save the Kiwi Westshore crèche.
