	Tiritiri Matangi's rare birds
		Although some are kept in enclosures in one or two places around the country, Tiritiri is far and away the best place to see this species.
		Although it's easy to see kiwis in the "kiwi houses" which are scattered around the country, the only place I know where they can regularly be seen in the wild is on New Zealand's third largest island, Stewart Island, which is rugged, beautiful and well off the beaten path.
		Little spotted kiwis have been introduced onto Tiritiri Matangi, so I was very eager to go out at night and see one.
