The New Zealand Ruru (morepork) is one of my favourite New Zealand birds. I felt super fortunate to see a family resident at Zealandia Eco Sanctuary in Wellington, particularly as these are nocturnal birds so to see them in daylight is a rarity. I spent considerable time just observing them and taking reference photos, what a treat!She was so protective and keeping watch whilst her male partner and 3 chicks played in the back branches. The native morepork is known for its haunting, melancholic call. This sound gives it the Māori name 'ruru'. Have a listen to their call on the DoC website.
