There is a reserve in Wellington called 'Zealandia' - http://www.visitzealandia.com/site/zealandia_home/ (click on this link and you'll hear what I can hear!) where birds and other native animals of NZ are protected by a magical fence where stouts, possums, cats and rats can't get in to eat the eggs. Because of this project, Wellington has seen an increase in the native birds of this land. An absolutely fabulous project and a great place to visit. I was fortunate enough to meet the man who began this project. He wanted his grandchildren (who attend my old school..actually got to teach his granddaughter this year!) to be able to enjoy the beautiful birds and thankfully, they can. Tui birds are now locals to any garden in Wellington. I can hear them right now, even in the city - fabulous sounds.

Bird Song
I was just folding the clothes, and all I could hear was a chorus of birdsong. I had to post about it because it is something I absolutely treasure about Wellington and New Zealand.
