CCUN New Zealand with a little spotted kiwi, New Zealand’s smallest kiwi species,a small flightless bird. Their plumage is pale mottled grey and shaggy. The little spotted kiwi is the only species to become extinct on the mainland. The population strong-hold of 1,200 birds is on Kapiti Island, to where five birds were translocated in the early 20th century. Through more recent successful translocations, little spotted kiwi are also now found on seven other predator free offshore islands and in three mainland sanctuaries.
Thanks a lot Susan!
