Removed majority of urls due to forum restrictions but pasting the 'checklist number' into a different tab should still easily bring up the mentioned checklists.

All checklists listed from Tiri-tiri Matangi & Shakespear Ecosanctuary:
https://ebird.org/checklist/S166417276, https://ebird.org/checklist/S102257621, https://ebird.org/checklist/S102313805, https://ebird.org/checklist/S56192198, https://ebird.org/checklist/S96654426, https://ebird.org/checklist/S122592647, https://ebird.org/checklist/S97749865, https://ebird.org/checklist/S196720735,
ebird.org/checklist/S80091768, ebird.org/checklist/S54581369, ebird.org/checklist/S145073689,ebird.org/checklist/S71370948, ebird.org/checklist/S201798959, ebird.org/checklist/S145042667
This one should be flagged as list-building/incorrect locale: ebird.org/checklist/S203306220, possibly this one aswell: ebird.org/checklist/S131050342
Plausible? but could really do with at least some comments: ebird.org/checklist/S28865724, this one also seems suspicious to me but can't say for certain: ebird.org/checklist/S61661857
Report of a nocturnal kiwi at Waipu with the list also not extending into nocturnal hours: ebird.org/checklist/S145612985

Little Spotted Kiwi:
ebird.org/checklist/S167859677 (zoo checklist with zoo birds on there [little spotted being a misid of the zoos NI browns])
ebird.org/checklist/S78757027
ebird.org/checklist/S70453290, I believe the only kiwi on Mana Island known to have been present in 2002 would've been the Little Spotted x Rowi hybrid?

Southern Brown Kiwi:
ebird.org/checklist/S209984373 misidd captive bird?
ebird.org/checklist/S182111368 historical list building checklist, shouldn't be on public output
/ebird.org/checklist/S38388968 list building pelagic kiwi
/ebird.org/checklist/S162539854 pelagic kiwi

Great Spotted Kiwi:
ebird.org/checklist/S163067883 not definite but extremely far south of all other eBird records.

That were the most 'obvious' ones I could find on a quick look through kiwis on eBird, hopefully it was helpful to the reviewers :)
