On our lake Cruise/walk ecotour on #LakeWanakaNZ, we do get personal with Nature!
Here we have a curious #buffweka chick giving me a quick once over and a pedicure at the same time!
Come and "Meet the Wekas" with us on this predator free #MouWahoisland!
ecowanaka.co.nz to meet these quirky birds, sadly this subspecies has been extinct on Mainland NZ since 1920 due to their ecological naive and innocent curious nature being easy prey to introduced predators. This is a haven for many #NZbirds. Check ecowanaka.co.nz to be here!

WALLY the Buff Weka -
Close up of an old friend since 2004.
On his territory on @mouwaho island -
Predator free, he is pivotal in the largest population of Buff Weka on Mainland NZ
He, and his lifelong partner, SALLY, have had 27 chicks in their lives (so far).... A conservation success story for a #flightlessbird extinct on Mainland NZ since 1920....
