According to the Reader’s Digest Book of New Zealand Birds "nowhere in the world has the marsh crake been adequately studied". This is the most secretive of swampland birds; from hearing calls we think it may be present on Kaitoke Swamp but no-one has actually seen it! Photo by L.G. Chandler https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5339e6f9e4b061857996f939/1594174745744-48LYSHXPPYTPYJKZ9T7S/image-asset.jpeg EN06 The Birds of Great Barrier Island White faced Heron. This bird is a relatively recent arrival in New Zealand from Australia. The less common Reef Heron is smaller and darker coloured, and sometimes seen on coastal rocks around Great Barrier. These are easy species to identify and count, but we currently have no idea how many are present on the island.

The vertical axis (left) is the sample depth in cm, from the surface (0) to the lowest sample (130 cm). The vertical axis (right) shows the radiocarbon dates on samples from particular depths. The diagram is ‘zoned’ into three depth layers, representing the pre-polynesian (PR) period, the Māori (PO) period and the European (EU) period. Each zone has a characteristic ‘signature’ of pollen types: the period before human arrival (PR) is characterised mainly by ‘tall tree’ pollen types, plus some shrubs. The decline of tall trees, coinciding with increasing wind-born charcoal (smoke) and bracken (Pteridium) spores, indicates forest clearance at the start of Māori occupation, dated here as between 1070 – 880 years before present (BP). The European period (top 15 cm) shows a big peak of ‘Baumea’, characterising the infilling of the mangrove (Avicennia) swamp by sedges and rushes, but the presence of Pinus pollen and some other European plants (not shown) clearly implies sediments deposited since the main European influence on Aotea (c. 1840). The circled numbers indicate the changing vegetation at the core site, from mangroves (Avicennia) (1), to Oioi (Leptocarpus) salt marsh (2,3) to Swamp twig-rush (Baumea juncea) and eventually to the current vegetation of mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium)(5) and raupo (Typha muelleri) (6). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5339e6f9e4b061857996f939/e77f789a-471f-4239-ba58-f4c071941ce1/Fig+1+Pt+2.png Whangapoua Estuary - Make it stand out Whangapoua estuary is a significant feeding location for both Aotea seasonal migrants, and longer-distance international migrants.
