In December we made our annual trip up to Waikanae to visit the glorious Nga Manu Wildlife Reserve. We had lovely weather and got to see so many amazing animals. Some of us were lucky enough to be in the Kiwi House at the right time to see Awhina the female kiwi being fed, which meant that we got to see her!

As always, the highlight of the trip was definitely the feeding of the eels, and some people were brave enough to touch the eel as it was brought around the group.

Hopefully we get good weather in December for this year’s trip.
