Whio are flying high in Kahurangi - have you spotted one?
A Department of Conservation (DOC) survey into the whio population in Kahurangi National Park has seen a massive increase and DOC are saying it is thanks to the combined efforts of the community, businesses and a captive breeding facility.
The survey, which started in 2020 and is ongoing, has to date found an increase of 340% in whio (blue duck) numbers since 1998-2000 when DOC last surveyed the bird.
