Native bird life

One of our ambitions in creating our book  (MyCityDiscovered - Auckland) and our website (www.mycitydiscovered.com) was to make more Auckland residents aware of the native bird life we share our city with. To date we have created pages on the website to introduce the follow species:

Putangitangi (Paradise Shelduck)
Ngutu pare (Wrybill)
Kawau paka (Little Shag)
Kotuku ngutupapa (Royal Spoonbill)
Matuku moana (White-faced Heron)
Papango (New Zealand Scaup)
Weweia (New Zealand Dabchick)
Karuhiruhi (Pied Shag)
Tieke (North Island Saddleback)
Toutouwai (North Island Robin)

This is only a small number which we hope to expand over time. Not all native species are found in Auckland so we will only be showing Aucklanders the birds that they can find in their 'backyard'.
