2013-December update

January 6th, 2014

What your Backyard Kiwi were up to in December:

Darwin – At Lamb Road quarry in the pampas- high activity.

Whitu – Hatched a chick on 21 November. After monitoring his signal
regularly finally after 21 days his activity started to rise and I could go
and check him without upsetting his nesting on the second egg. His 1st chick
had left by then but his second had recently hatched – he was ID chipped,
DNA sampled and named “Gypsy” by locals (see photo). I did Whitu’s annual
transmitter change at the same time.

Whitu's chick - December 2013

Dallas – Is still nesting in weeds beside road in Taurikura- close to
Baptist camp.

Lambert – On his second nest at Taurikura ridge hatch due any day now.

Waka – Still on second nest. 1st egg hatched on 18/12/13 – still waiting for
activity to increase before going into nest.

Charlotte– Unfortunately she was found on New Year’s Eve drowned in an old
topless concrete water tank that is usually empty. This was 500m south of
anywhere she has been tracked before -which is strange as Waka is nesting –
she may have been disturbed by all the holiday goers’ activity? From her
condition she had been in the empty tank for a few days and then the
extremely heavy rain on the 28th flooded the tank and drowned her. The
other strange thing was that there was a wild male bird in with her – he had
only been in there since the water level had fallen (less than 24 hours).
He appeared in good health but I put a transmitter on him so I check his
activity. The landowners named him Lucky – he now has ID chip 6E6D277,
weight 1900g, bill length 95.0mm. The landowners have covered the tank now.
Also on the upside is that Waka and Charlotte have had two successful nests
this season. We have named one of those chicks Charlotte.

JR – South Taurikura Ridge. He has re-nested as suspected but his activity is
pretty high at 6 hours after 28 days of nesting so it may not last:

Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – On nest – he hatched his first ever
chick 14/12/13. He is still on the 2nd egg and I have been waiting for his
activity to increase before going into the nest.

Kiwiana – He is still recovering from his broken leg at Massey University,
x-rays show that the bone is healing but still a few weeks away from having
his pins out.

Webb – Hiding somewhere on the Kauri Mt coast

Bill – this is the wild bird found with Webb last month. He has remained in
a similar spot.

Clover – This guy is in dense kiekie on the eastern slopes of Manaia safe
from dogs and difficult to monitor so when I caught up with him this month I
removed his transmitter.

Keeping your Kiwi safe:

Visitors’ Dogs

Please remind any summer visitors with dogs that they need to keep their dog
under control to avoid kiwi deaths. Most of our local dog owners are very
good but during summer some visitors don’t know about the risk their pets
are to our kiwi.

Road kill

Thanks to Heather and Martin Hunt for making the two “kiwi crossing” road
signs recently put up to remind night drivers to watch out for kiwi.

Remember, our roads are used by cars and kiwi

November update

December 16th, 2013

What your Backyard Kiwi were up to in November:

Darwin – Has moved back to the Lamb Road quarry in the pampas.

Whitu – Still nesting in his usual area Reotahi, his transmitter signal showed that he hatched his first chick after 70 days on 21 November. I will check his activity regularly and when it rises go in and hopefully DNA and ID any chicks.

Dallas – Has started nesting again – once again close to the road at the intersection of McDonald and Whangarei Heads road at Taurikura.

Lambert – On his second nest at Taurikura ridge (hatch due around xmas day)

Waka – On his second nest at Mckenzie Bay – 10m from the landowner’s washing line!

Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.

JR – At the southern end of Taurikura ridge, his activity is dropping so he may be about to re-nest. The excellent footage that Kane got of his activity in his last nest can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VMMwTUG9rc&feature=youtu.be

JR's chick spring 2013


It is interesting to see the chicks’ mum hanging around the nest regularly, but not going inside the burrow, previously we thought that the kiwi mums just had nothing to do with the nest.

Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – due to hatch his first ever chick any day now.

Kiwiana – He is still recovering from his broken leg at Massey University, x-rays show that the bone is healing but still a few weeks away from having his pins out.

Webb – This young lady has found herself a mate – We found her in a pampas bush at Fabers’ on the Kauri Mt coast with a large adult kiwi. I checked him and found no ID chip so he has to have been a wild hatched bird that has survived because of our trapping efforts. He was a big 2400g and has been named “Bill” to go with Webb-Ellis (photos attached).

Webb and mate at Kauri Mountain


Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia

Visitors’ Dogs
Please remind any summer visitors with dogs that they need to keep their dog under control to avoid kiwi deaths. Most of our local dog owners are very good but during summer some visitors don’t know about the risk their pets are to our kiwi.

October update

November 2nd, 2013

October was a pretty busy kiwi month with some highs and lows:

If you haven’t seen the story on Backyard kiwi Facebook about the large
female kiwi run over near Craig Road join the other 5,928 people who have!!
This is the third adult kiwi run over there recently so we will put up
another road sign and do a story for the papers about it.

What your monitored kiwi are up to:

Darwin – Was nesting at Lamb road but the nest failed after approximately 60
days. Did his six monthly transmitter band change while there was Bittern
booming away beside him in the wetland at Lamb Road.

Whitu – Usual area Reotahi, he has re-nesting as suspected – nest will be
approx 65 days on December 9.

Dallas – At Hills’ by WH school. His activity has dropped slightly so he may
be re-nesting.

Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge -transmitter data stream showed eggs
hatching but because he was in dense pampas I couldn’t risk getting a look
without disturbing him and his chicks. His nest finished after 90 days and
22 days after the first chick hatched. He is re-nesting already!

Waka – after hatching 2 chicks last month (which we need to name) he fell
for Charlotte again and is re-nesting already too! The nest is in a pampas
bush in a landowners back garden.

Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.

JR's 1st Chick this spring

JR's 2nd spring chick "Blondie"


JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – He has successfully hatched
two chicks. Unusually for a Heads kiwi his nest was in a burrow (not a
pampas bush) so Kane McElrea set up one of the NRC trial cameras and got
some great footage of JR and the chicks leaving the nest at night – we will
get it up on the website shortly. The Hunts came with me when I DNA sampled
the chicks and inserted their ID chips. One of the chicks had a head of
white feathers so they named it “Blondie”.

Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – His first nesting attempt failed
(which often happens with a kiwi’s first nest – remember that this is just
his first breeding season of hopefully 50 or more!). The good news is that
he is back re-nesting already.

Kiwiana – Was at Blicks’ at the southern end of Mt Manaia but he managed to break a leg falling off a rock. So after some fantastic treatment by Sandra at Kamo Vets he was jet setted off to Massey University for surgery and is recovering well with a plate in his leg now.

Webb – This young lady seems to have settled on the Kauri Mt coast at this stage.

Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia

September Update

October 25th, 2013

Kiwi Predator Control Programme:
A very big month for stoats compared to our usual September catches with 5 stoats, including 2 mature females on the western side of Mania – catching a mature female in spring is great because it also means that you have also nailed her litter of up to 8 kits!

Traps for September: 5 stoats, 0 weasels, 1 cat, 36 rats, 33 possums and 2 hedge hogs.
Tally for season: 42 stoats, 15 weasels, 18 cats, 421 rats, 148 possums and 49 hogs.

Kiwi monitoring:

Waka won the race for the Dad to hatch the first chick of the season. Lambert also hatched a chick in September.

What your monitored kiwi are up to in September:

Darwin – He is nesting at Lamb road – 3 hours nightly activity – nest will reach 65 days approx 27 October.
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi, activity dropping – possibly renesting after his first nest failed.
Dallas – At Hills’ by the Heads school. A kiwi was reportedly seen during the day (3pm) in Dallas’s area in the storm of 24/9/13 and it ran under a car before running up the bank. I checked Dallas’s signal – and yes he was active during that afternoon!!!! – otherwise his activity has been ok since then.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – nesting – transmitter data stream shows first hatch.
Waka – Takes the title of first recorded hatch of the season- 1st hatched 13/9/13 and a second a week later. Both chicks were in the nest late September and I caught up with them to DNA sample and ID chip.

Waka's chick - number 1

Waka's chick - number 2


Charlotte – (Proud mum of Waka’s chicks) Usual area of McKenzie Bay.
JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – Still Nesting – 3 hours activity – nest 65 days on 1 October.
Charlie – At McNamnara’s, Craig Road – finally nested for the first time.
Kiwiana – At Blicks’ at the southern end of Mt Manaia. Activity up to 13.5 hours per night, which is very high.
Webb – After much searching for this young girl’s transmitter signal I found her over on the Kauri Mt coast at the Fabers’ place – a reasonable big move from Kerr road!
Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia

August Update – Biosecurity Awarded to NRC

September 5th, 2013

Firstly notice of the upcoming WHLF meeting on Thursday October 24 at McLeod Bay Hall 7.30pm – all welcome.

Secondly congratulations to Don McKenzie and his team at the NRC for winning the Peter Nelson Biosecurity Award. This is a much sought after national award and it is great to see one of the WHLF’s key partners (and key funders) recognised for their success.

Northland Regional Council

See details at:

http://www.nrc.govt.nz/News/Council-wins-coveted-Peter-Nelson-biosecurity-award/

“We see this very much as a trophy not just for us as a council, but also the many Northlanders from all walks of life who have worked closely with us over the past decade in a huge range of pest control initiatives both on land and in the water,” Don says.

Kiwi Predator Control Programme:
I’m still struggling to get enough rabbits for bait – if you have any can I have them please. I have started added in the extra traps funded by the Kiwi Coast – 1 has already caught a stoat. Some clever bugger managed to run over a big male stoat outside the golf club last week –well done! Can’t put this guy on our tally but every dead stoat helps!

Traps for August – 2 stoats, 2 weasels, 3 cats, 48 rats, 11 possums and 2 hedge hogs.
Tally for season to date 37 stoats, 15 weasels, 17 cats, 369 rats, 115 possums and 47 hogs.

Kiwi monitoring:
The nesting season is well underway with our 6 usual nesters unfortunately 2 of those nests (Dallas and Whitu) have failed for unknown reasons. There is still plenty of time for these guys to try again.

What your monitored kiwi are up to:

Darwin – He has just started nesting at Lamb road -5 hours nightly activity- nest will reach 65 days approx 27 October
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi, Nest failed after 45 days.
Dallas – At Hills’ by WH school, Nest failed after 36 days.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – nesting – 3 hours activity – nest will be 65 days on 15 September approx.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – nesting – 3.5 hours activity– 65 days on 4 September approx.
Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay. I caught up with her for her annual transmitter change, she was a healthy 2600g and her bill has stopped growing showing she is now a fully grown adult (photo attached).
JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – Nesting – 3 hours activity –nest will be 65 days on 1 October..

Charlotte is strong and healthy


Charlie – At McNamnaras’ at Craig Road – nightly activity is still high – 11 hours.
Kiwiana – At Blicks’ at the southern end of Mt Manaia. High activity of 12 hours as expected for a 2 year old.
Webb – Has dropped off the radar!!! I have covered a wide area looking for her but can’t find her radio signal.
Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia -11.5 hours activity. Clover is in a tricky place to monitor and well away from any dogs so I plan to remove his transmitter.

Kiwi Call count monitoring for 2013

Every year we do a “kiwi call count” as a way of monitoring the kiwi population at the Whangarei Heads. During 3 weeks in June trained listeners sat at 22 designated listen sites and counted the kiwi calls over a 2 hour period on 4 separate nights – not as easy to do as it sounds! A BIG THANKS to those patient folks who braved the cold and strained their ears.

This season’s data has all come in now and the news is good. We work out the average number of kiwi calls per hour per site. Overall our call count is up from 5.9 in 2012 to 6.8 calls per site per hour. We also identify how many individual kiwi there are at each site by recording the location of each calling kiwi (using a compass bearing and estimated distance from the listening site) – remember that kiwi are territorial and tend to call from roughly the same area each time. The total number of individual kiwi identified has increased by over 10% this season from 183 to 206, which is heartening. Remember we only listened into 30-40% of our kiwi habitat so actually numbers of kiwi will be considerably more – well over 400 now and probably close to 500. Pretty good considering we were down to only an estimated 80 kiwi in total at the Heads back in 2001!!

The increasing call count is due to a combination of things:
Improved kiwi chick survival thanks to our ongoing stoat trapping network (without stoat control 95% of chicks are killed).
The release of new kiwi into the area each year from our BNZONE programme also adds to the population.
The significant improvement in dog control by local pet owners. Our community is to be congratulated on this crucial part of kiwi recovery as dogs are the biggest threat to adult kiwi.

Click on this link to view tables – one shows the trends in call counts from 2001 to 2013, the other shows the details or call counts at each site for 2013.

Keep up the good work Whangarei Heads!

July update

August 20th, 2013

Kiwi Predator Control Programme:
As expected for this time of year stoat catches are low but the 1 stoat that I did get was a huge 400g!!!! This was a big old male that must have been dodging me for years. He finally fell for a fresh rat caught in the first trap (most of our traps are doubles). With the cold weather I have gone back to salted rabbit for bait but I’m struggling for rabbits – if you have any can I have them please.

Traps for July – 1 stoat, 3 weasels, 0 cats, 46 rats, 3 possums and 1 hedge hogs.
Tally for season to date 35 stoats, 13 weasels, 14 cats, 324 rats, 104 possums and 45 hogs.

Kiwi monitoring:
Nesting has got under way with the usual dads settling onto their nests for the next few months.

What your monitored kiwi are up to:

Darwin – In the Lamb Road quarry –his nightly activity is varying a bit but still high – 11 hours nightly.
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi, Now nesting – will reach 65 days on 29 August.
Dallas – Back at Hills’ by WH school, nesting – 65 days on 11 September approx.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – nesting – 65 days on 15 September approx.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – nesting – 65 days on 4 September approx.
Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.
JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – activity dropping to 8 hours per night so may be starting to nest.
Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – nightly activity is still high – 12 hours. He is now coming up to 4 years old so hope he starts breeding soon.
Kiwiana – At Blicks’ at the southern end of Mt Manaia. High activity as expected for a 2 year old.

Webb is a healthy 2200 grams


Webb – In the scrub between Ody’s and Kerr Road. Caught up with her for 3 monthly check and she was a healthy 2200g – a big improvement after a hard summer (see photo). The landowners were very excited about having Webb on their place and have instigated excellent dog control of their pet dogs – they have also decided not to replace their pet dogs in the future.
Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia -10.5 hours activity. Clover is in a tricky place to monitor and well away from any dogs so I plan to remove his transmitter.

June Update

July 4th, 2013

Bad News: Kiwi Killed by aversion trained dog

Dog kill 29 June 2013


Unfortunately a pet dog on a lifestyle block at the north end of McLeod Bay killed a kiwi (see photo). The kiwi was a male of 1995g and didn’t have an ID chip meaning that was a wild hatched chick that had survived to adulthood thanks to our predator trapping.
Of concern is that this dog had undergone kiwi aversion training and this is not the first example of this happening – there are ongoing questions about the effectiveness of aversion training on lifestyle block pet dogs that are in kiwi areas 24/7.

Kiwi monitoring:
Nesting seems to be a few weeks later this year (possibly because of the summer drought) with many males still active. By this time last year many of our kiwi dads were sitting on eggs.
What your monitored kiwi are up to:

Darwin – In the Lamb road quarry – activity of 11 hours per night.
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi –activity of 10 hours activity early in month, activity could have dropped since.
Dallas – Still in the pines by the School- 11 hours activity. Kane and I caught up with him for his 6 monthly band change. He was in excellent condition and was a whopping 2550g.

Dallas june 2013


Lambert- Usual area Taurikura Ridge – activity of 11 hours per night.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – activity of 10 hours per night.
Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.
JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – activity of 11 hours per night.
Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – Did his 6 monthly check – good condition 2140g.

Kiwiana – At Blicks at the southern end of Mt Manaia. 3 monthly check done (he is still growing) – only in medium condition and 1720g.

Kiwiana June 2013


Webb – In the pines between Ody’s and Kerr Road.
Clover – Still high up on eastern Manaia -11 hours activity.

May Update

June 17th, 2013

Kiwi monitoring:
Your Kiwi are very active at the moment with the start of the breeding season.
What some of them are up to:

Darwin – In the Lamb road quarry – false alarm on him starting to nest last month as his activity has increased.
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi –activity of 11 hours per night.
Dallas  – Still in the pines by the School- 11.5 hours activity.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – activity of 12 hours per night.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – activity of 12.5 hours per night.
Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.
JR – South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – activity of 11.5 hours per night.
Charlie  – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – due his 6 monthly check but being a bit sneaky in the scrub there.
Kiwiana – At the southern end of Mt Manaia. His activity is around 12 hours per night.
Webb – In the pines between Ody’s and Kerr Road.
Clover  – Still high up on eastern Manaia -11.5 hours activity.

Two kiwi from our Kiwis for Kiwi BNZONE program were released at Bream Head on May 21. Our BNZONE work is largely funded by Kiwis for Kiwi and is a team effort with the Bream Head Conservation Trust and Tutukaka Landcare Coalition along with support from the Department of Conservation.
Kiwi chicks form the Riponui and Rarewarewa reserves are crèched on Limestone Island (run by FOMLI) until they are over 1200g and ready for release back on the mainland.

The big news about these two kiwi was that they were numbers 99 and 100 to go through Limestone Island. FOMLI marked the occasion with a celebration at the water front at Onerahi as the kiwi were transferred. They were two female kiwi over 2kg in weight- “Huhana” (named by our proud supporters Ideal Buildings) and “Badger” (named in recognition of Chris Badger of GBC who was part of start of the Limestone Is recovery work).
About 30 people attended the release run by Pete Mitchell of BHCT at the west end of Smugglers’ cove.  Badger was released without a radio transmitter and Huhana had a temporary transmitter attached.  Cathy Mitchell has been following Huhana’s radio signal and she has settled west of the release site at this stage.

 

April update

May 20th, 2013

The autumn rain has come just at the right time for kiwi breeding. The kiwi are hard out feeding and getting fat for breeding. As their body condition improves the kiwi start calling more to mark their territories – each male and female pair have their own area and there is competition for the best spots. If you want to hear a kiwi calling in you backyard now is the best time of year to have a listen – to help you identify the different calls – click Hear a kiwi in the grey box to the right of this update

Please be careful of kiwi on the roads, their main senses are hearing and smell so they are not the best at avoiding cars – so we need to avoid them.

Recently a large female kiwi was run over on the road just north of McLeod Bay. She was a bird we released back in 2007 as part of 150th celebrations at Whangarei Heads – named “Sesqui” she had spent the last 6 years growing to an impressive 3.15 kg in size. She did not have a radio transmitter on but was identified by the ID chip all released kiwi have. Sesqui was in prime breeding condition and the pity is that she had 50 more years of breeding ahead of her, so please keep an eye out for your kiwi on the road! Don’t mistake them for a possum or a hedge hog!

What some of your kiwi are up to:

Darwin – Back in the pampas in the Lamb road quarry – his activity has dropped a bit and he may be starting to nest.
Whitu- Usual area Reotahi – Activity of 11.5 hours per night.
Dallas – Still in the pines by the School- 11 hours activity.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – activity of 12 hours per night.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – activity of 11.5 hours per night.
Charlotte – Usual area of McKenzie Bay.
JR – Has moved down to the lower slopes of South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – activity of 10 hours per night.
Charlie – At McNamnara’s at Craig Road – due his 6 monthly check but being a bit sneaky in the scrub there.
Kiwiana – At the southern end of Mt Manaia. His activity is around 11 hours per night.
Webb – In the pines between Ody’s and Kerr Road.

Clover – This is the young male released in January–caught up with him for his 3 monthly check- 1450g so doing ok but hasn’t grown since release probably due to the drought conditions.

Upcoming release
Bernie (the new Limestone Ranger), Kane and I had a very successful night walk at Limestone recently- 3 good sized kiwi in 90 minutes (I wish it was always that easy to catch the little buggers). Limestone Island continues to be a fantastic kiwi crèche. These birds will be numbers 99,100 and 101 when they return to the mainland and FOMLI is planning to celebrate this in the week of May 20.

2 of the birds are from our BNZONE programme (a combined effort of WHLF, BHCT and Tutukaka LC) – funded by Kiwis for Kiwi. The plan is to have a release hosted by BHCT at Bream Head with the kiwi – 4.30pm on Tuesday 21 May – at the Urquharts Bay carpark.

March Update

April 5th, 2013

Kiwi Predator Control Programme:

The stoat run has definitely dropped off as expected for this time of year, have moved checks out to monthly.
Traps for February– 2 stoats, 1 weasel, 0 cat, 31 rats, 13 possums and 4 hedgehogs.
Tally for season to date 29 stoats, 7 weasels, 9 cats, 213 rats, 72 possums and 33 hogs.

Kane and Whitu - March 2013


Kane from the NRC has order us some more Timms traps for possums – numbers are building up in Mt Manaia with no control there for a few years now so if you think you can put 1 or more to use please let me know. Overall possum numbers are way down in the Whangarei Heads compared to a few years ago – it would be good to keep chipping away at the remaining population. The fantastic pohutakawa flowers back in early summer show that we have made a difference.

Kiwi monitoring:

Our adult kiwi seem to have coped well with the very dry summer – apart from Darwin there was no autumn breeding meaning they haven’t had to work too hard over the dry period and are still in reasonable condition. The data streams from their transmitters are showing activities of about 10-11 hours per night, which is the same as the past 3 autumns.

Webb - March 2013


When the rain comes the breeding season should kick off with lots of calling.

What some of your kiwi are up to:

Darwin – After Darwin left his nest I DNA sampled and ID chipped his recently hatched chick – he was named “James” by the landowners at Lamb Road (see photo). No second egg in nest. After multiple unsuccessful visits to the pampas in the Lamb road quarry I finally caught up with Darwin in the wetland beside the road for his annual transmitter change, he was in good condition and weighed 2005g.
Whitu – Usual area Reotahi – activity of 11 hours per night. Kane helped me catch him in the pampas for his 6 monthly check (see photo) – 2005g and reasonable condition. A stay dog was report near Whitu this month but he managed to stay safe.
Dallas – Has moved up to the pines by the School – 11 hours activity.
Lambert – Usual area Taurikura Ridge – activity of 11 hours per night.
Waka – Usual area Mckenzie Bay – activity of 10 hours per night.
Charlotte – in the pampas on the point between Taurikura Bay and McKenzie Bay – Kane helped me catch her for her 6 monthly check – a healthy 2450g and a bill length of 123.5mm (see photo)– which has grown from the last check, showing that she is a young bird and still growing (she is a wild kiwi I found back in 2011). This is a good indication that our stoat trapping is working.

Charlotte - March 2013


JR – Usual area –South Taurikura Ridge above Urquarts Bay – activity of 11 hours per night.
Charlie – Still showing high activity (11.5 hours) at Craig Road – doesn’t look like he will nest this year.
Kiwiana – At the southern end of Mt Manaia. His activity is around 11 hours per night.
Webb – This is the young female we released in January – caught up with her in pines at Odys for a health check – all good (see photo).
Clover – This is the young male we recently released – he is now about half way along the eastern side of Mt Manaia and cruising around.
