Black Fantail - South Manakau, Lower North Island
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2019 2:36 pm
Hi,
Very new to this forum but we live on 23acres north of Otaki with stand of about an acre of protected undisturbed native bush. There is a lot of native birds here and we particularly enjoy the fantails - and today we spotted a black fantail which upon researching appears to be very rare in the north island, we are reasonably inland towards the tararua ranges.
Just thought I would pop that up here incase it was of any interest to the group.
If I had realised it was so rare we would have taken a pic as being a fantail it was uber curious around us and the horses.
Thanks
