The pairs seem to be sorted at Waipu, Papakanui, Pakiri and Mangawhai. Lots of fish feeding by the male to the female seen by the DOC Rangers at each site which improves the pair bonding and prompts females to lay. Even copulation noted so it won't be long now!
A cat has been trapped at Mangawhai and a low netting fence has been put right around the nesting area which may help keep predators at bay.
Any day now there should be eggs......
