New Zealand's 'Small Five' safari
My first stop was a wildlife haven called Tiritiri Matangi (Tiri for short), a tiny island with a big secret just off the coast of Auckland. I had been there once before, many years ago, to listen to the dawn chorus. I realise that flying more than 11,000 miles just for that could be regarded as slightly eccentric, but Tiri is reputed to have the best dawn chorus in the world. And it more than lives up to expectations: it is a place where you can immerse yourself in a cacophony of birdsong so vibrant that it takes on orchestral proportions.
Tiri island is what it is thanks to a phenomenally successful conservation programme. During the Eighties and early Nineties, volunteers planted about 300,000 native trees, while the government’s Department of Conservation removed all the mammalian predators (there were no mammalian predators in New Zealand until a host of hungry ferrets, stoats, weasels, rats, cats, dogs, hedgehogs and possums were introduced by people – and they have been enthusiastically eating the country’s native wildlife ever since). Once the island was predator-free, umpteen native bird species were reintroduced and, hey presto, now there are birds flitting about all over the place.
