Hi all,
Please do keep posting any checklists that you feel need following up for review here. It is very helpful for myself and the rest of the NZ review team to follow up on sightings/checklists that may have slipped through filters. Alternative/additional places to flag these are in the 'eBird New Zealand' Facebook group (which is a bit more private than this very public forum) or indeed contacting the NZ eBird Coordination team via email nzbirdatlas (at) wmil.co.nz.
Many thanks again!
Happy birding,
Dan

Birding NZ forum has a url cap so I'll do this post by post?

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:

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
