This is a really good way to see many of New Zealand's special birds close-up.
We got very good views of Caspian Tern, Royal Spoonbill, White Heron and Australasian Bittern (Classic beak upwards upright stance - rarely seen in UK), as well as many others. It is also a good introduction to some of the plant and tree species around, and Swade will tailor his guiding to what is out and can be seen at the time. Worth thinking of combining a trip with one of the Okarito Kiwi Tours in the evening and perhaps a walk to the Trig point in the afternoon. My wife is not a regular birdwatcher but enjoyed this trip a lot.
