Take a forest walk, listen to the iconic song of the Robin and meet the team working to find out how the birds are doing and the threats they face in their new home -a little patch of forest.

South Island Robins / Kakaruwai are one of the most curious birds of Aotearoa NZ. They were once widespread, but today, their numbers are at risk and declining. In one of the forests outside Orokonui, the birds have been nesting for a few years and a team from Birds NZ led by Georgina Pickerell, is studying the Robins and their nesting success.

Featuring - George Pickerell & Birds NZ Members - Francesca Cunninghame, Niko Jimenez-Cunninghame, Oscar Thomas, Adrienne Mulqueen, Katie Gray, Bruce McKinlay.

Thanks to the members of the Robins team and Birds NZ Otago Branch.

Happy New Year and Welcome to a Special Episode with just sounds from the wilderness.

Grab your headphones and unwind with some dawn chorus birdsong recorded in a native forest.

Orokonui Ecosanctuary in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, is home to some of the world's most fascinating and rare forest birds, reptiles and plants. The forest of Orokonui is fenced off to keep mammalian predators away and is a safe haven for native birds and wildlife. So the birdsong is relatively louder and more lively.
