A Call for Bird of the Year

Learn some fascinating facts about one of our lesser known flightless endemic birds from Fiona Powell, Bird of the Year 2022 Campaign Manager for the weka, in this not entirely factual presentation.

Weka are a cheeky brown hen with a criminal mind and they're often voted off conservation islands for their bad behaviour, yet these mischievous birds are vulnerable too, experiencing population booms and massive crashes.

Is it time for weka to be recognised and crowned Bird of the Year?

Free event. All welcome.
