The team of Department of Conservation and Taiko Trust team running spotlights in the Tuku valley have been successful in catching three unbanded taiko in one night. All three birds had radio transmitters attached and it is hoped that the birds can be tracked back to a burrow which can be then managed in order to protect the nest from predators and increase the world population of taiko from just 15 breeding pairs.
Update: as of Oct 27th 13 birds have been caught, 7 of which were unbanded. Well done team!
