Karearea spotted in Porirua.
The regional council is reporting it has spotted a karearea in Porirua.
"The karearea (New Zealand Falcon) is endemic to New Zealand, meaning it isn’t found anywhere else in the world. This precious taonga species is nationally threatened as a result of habitat loss and predation. Karearea are one of a few native bird species that hunt live prey – often watching over the land from a vantage point before making their attack. But not every vantage point is quite like this one! While out in Whitireia Park completing some weed control, our Biosecurity Officer Jen McGowan was able to snap this powerful image of a karearea watching over the park from the Kaitawa Pou. This sighting could be the result of ongoing pest control in the area."
