Kaka

Between Anchorage hut and the bay I the trees, also earlier in the day walking from Apple tree bay once.

I saw the bird about 30 minutes walk before the suspension bridge, I was coming from bark bay. I was sitting on the side of the track, in an area in the sun (they are quite rare). I took several photos and I have tried to attach one in this report. Hope I have been successful. I'm not a specialist and maybe it is not a kaka.8

I saw a Kaka about 10 minutes from Anchorage Bay (between Bark Bay and Anchorage). The bird was on a dead tree right above me and was noisily breaking bark off the tree for several minutes. The bird had a green tag on one leg and a silver tag on the other.

Pretty sure we saw a kaka flying above the tree canopy as we set out from Awaroa Hut along the track to Bark Bay.

Top of its head was white

Seen near the path down to medlands beach. A solitary kākā climbing up and down the tree. I took a video which it won’t let me upload unfortunately

Kaka seen on track very soon after leaving Bark Bay toward Awaroa. Before first swing bridge. Kaka flew very low and close to us, could feel the air disturbance. Then posed on a tree at head height and we observed him/her for a while. Seemed unperturbed by us speaking to him/her and taking photos. Had a silver band. Beautiful bird and so nice to see in the park.

It was around the high tide track at bark bay
