The Hihi (Stitchbird, Notiomystis cincta) is one of my favourite birds. Classed as rare, it is a real treat to see on my visits to Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne.
In the first couple of years I visited to ecosanctuary, I would only ever see them in a specific area, but more recently I have seen them from many different tracks.
This one was one of two strutting their stuff at a Kākā feeding station on the upper reaches of Lake Road; the ‘main’ road of the park.
