Re: New Zealand Cockatoo Populations
Hi Jake, Thanks for the info on the cockatoos at Kakariki and Eketahuna. Regarding the Pohangina valley, I don’t think it’s as much of a hotspot as it once was, although I haven’t personally been there, and there could be some cockatoos hiding deep into that valley

Do you know where exactly these birds are in Owaka? I’d be keen to have a look.
151 birds on my NZ life list, latest bird Sulphur-crested Cockatoo.

Usually just south of Catlins Lake. Check eBird for the latest sightings.
