Recently we hosted three Cruise ships to the Bay of Islands.
The Dawn Princess was followed on the same day as the Sun Princess.
The next day the Oosterdam arrived.
The Princess line passengers were awed by the size of the Ancient Kauri trees,
they age from seedlings to 1200 year old trees.
The Oosterdam passengers walk a trail with many different associations of forest.
They encounter Flora and Fauna undisturbed.
20120117_160303On our half day walks we encounter The New Zealand Robin.
Puketi Forest Trust have reduced the Predator numbers to a very low level.
The Robin (Petroica ausralis) has restablished itself and is breeding very well.
In the video a couple from East Germany are feeding the Robins mealy worms.
Yesterday 30 Robins were flown by helicopter from there home in the wild to the Puketi forest.They were met by members of the Puketi forest trust and volunteers .These birds will add more bird song the forest,bring the number of Robins back to where it was once in the forest.
Today we witnessed conservation at its best,the New Zealand Robin released in June 09 is now flying freely through the Puketi Forest .Today was the first time Adventure Puketi has been able to show our clients what the Puketi Forest Trust and Volunteers,their success of six years of hard work.Sabine and Lynn from Switzerland love Nature and it was a pleasure to be able to show them the conservation effort being put into Puketi forest.
Puketi Forest is continuing to benefit from six years of hard work and generous donations by volunteers and supporters of the Puketi Forest Trust. At the end of October, the first two North Island Robins to have hatched in Puketi in more than a hundred years left the nest.
Since then three more young Robins have been seen in different parts of the forest which shows that at least four pairs have bred successfully. Two other pairs, which are being monitored are sitting on eggs or feeding chicks in the nest.
That the Robins, which were reintroduced in June, have bred successfully, proves the effectiveness of the trusts control of Mammalian Predators.
