This cheeky little fellow is one of our flightless birds - a Weka. Love the little yellow plastic duck next to his water dish. This photo was taken on a WIA trip to Kapiti Island. We went out at night on this small island to look for our other flightless bird - the kiwi. Unfortunately I had caught a stomach bug from one of my grandchildren and became violently ill that night so I dont have fond memories of that trip. I also missed the tramp that the others did the following day as I was still really unwell. It was a mixed blessing being sick that day as it absolutely poured with rain and the others got soaked to the skin.
