That was a good shot: neck facing front on at 140m.
On this trip in 2016 I dropped back into the West Hawdon and heard a Kaka up in the trees closer to the river.
There are a few deer around, but not many. It's as if its too dry and not enough food for them or something. But very nice bush to move through and nice tussock ridges.

Very low numbers more likely because of regular 1080 operations.
