		On Ulva, the inquisitive tuis amounted almost to a nuisance, they all wanted to approach the visitors and announce their interest and defend their territory with a peculilar loud wingbeat combined with melodious, but noisy, whistling.
		The largest land bird on Stewart Island and its smaller neighbors, a green and rusty-red parrot, the Kaka, was nesting and feeding young wherever we walked.
		In a half-hour, we had seen two of New Zealand's three native parakeets (the third was not to be expected in any case), been shown kiwi tracks in a muddy spot on the trail, and been visited by a flock of birds so uncommon that lifelong residents of South Island had never seen one.

		Ulva Island is really lovely - worth spending a whole day on, if you have the time.
		A New Zealand pigeon (Kereru) made a dramatic appearance, startled from beside the path and perching overhead.
		Coming back to the main island, we were pointed at a sea lion on the beach only a hundred metres or so away from the jetty, so we walked over and took a close look from the track just above.

	BirdForum - Kakapo on Ulva Island New Zealand
		Ulva very kindly sent me a snap which I have now posted and this is what she had to say about one of only 86 Kakapo.
		They have to be really carefull on Ulva because it is not 100% rodent free (it is open access to anyone with a boat) and also Weka can be a predator (I don't think there are any on the Kakapo breeding Islands).
		They'll be returning the boy to one of the breeding islands this summer, hopefully he'll lure in a lady Kakapo to his 'track and bowl' this time (apparently he was more interested in getting it on with Humans last time round!).
