    Kiwis in the kaimais

    Went to tiri tiri matangi.

    Apart from the very limited amount of time you get to be there for I noticed there is meant to be kiwi in the kaimais.

    I have heard them in the kawekas.

    But not in the coromandel or kaimais yet.

    Anyone heard or seen them?

    I assume they are more common south of SH29, as dogs need a kiwi aversion certificate to get a hunting permit south of the highway, but not north.

    Kiwi were heard as soon ago as the night before last in the vicinity of Tuahu Track in the Kaimai's by family camping there...I don't think any more than 1% of the NZ population have ever seen or heard a kiwi in it's natural habitat.

    It’s hard to spend a night out in the kaweka bush without hearing the noisy buggers

    Yep didn’t exactly drive down on Friday........as I live in the uk......me Dad lives out on the plains
    Just left the car at the car park.
    Once you get to the top it’s fairly easy going. Takes around another 1.5 till you hit the old clay roads on the other side.
    Once you pass the north south track junction there’s not a lot of sign of people.
    When I’m next up there I’d walk to around the k in track to the left of the green way marker.
    Your still in the native and out of the regen.

    No wasn’t moreporks aka bacon birds.
    Definitely kiwis, have a recording on me phone which I then played down Stewart Island a few weeks later got a reply from some across the bay.
    Must have confused the crap out of his southern cousin

    I have heard a few.... sounds like someone being murdered in the Bush at 2am when you're out there alone in your tent
