New Zealand Falcon search
I have been in this amazing country for a month and seen lots of incredible birds but this one seems to be my nemesis! Today is my last day here. I am in the Auckland area and don’t fly out till late tonight. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Auckland unfortunately is a bit of a dead spot. The most reliable spot nearby I know of is Rotorua in the Redwoods or Whakarewarewa forest which is about 2:45 drive from Auckland. Otherwise you can see them near the Entrance to Maungatautari south of Hamilton approx 2;15 drive from Auckland. Hope this helps,

There’s a pair sometimes around Mangatawhiri Dam in the Hunua Ranges about 55min from the airport, but cannot be guaranteed. Usually flying around and calling.
