Vote whio as the Forest & Bird ‘Bird of the Year’ 🦆 Let's help the blue duck soar to victory! The native whio is one of the rarest birds in Aotearoa. They have an unusual bill, forward-facing eyes like a human, and appear on our $10 note, but they’ve yet to win the ‘Bird of the Year’ title – let’s change that! We proudly support whio recovery efforts through the Whio Forever programme. Voting closes soon. Vote for whio here: www.birdoftheyear.org.nz #BirdOfTheYear | Genesis

We recently had two clutches of wild blue duck / whio eggs brought to us as part of DOC's WHIONE programme (Whio Operation Nest Egg). The first clutch of 4 hatched successfully 10 days ago and are being raised here with a smaller captive bred clutch from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. Here they are enjoying a swim outside in the sun this morning (purple bands). The second wild clutch is due to hatch later this week. | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust

59 reactions | One of our Blue Duck / whio pairs, River and Meadow, have been busy laying their first clutch of eggs for the season, right on time. Meadow laid her first egg on July 28th last year, and we think it was almost exactly the same this year! In this video you can easily see that Meadow is very gravid (note the egg-shaped belly and the distended cloaca) and probably waddling off to lay another egg! | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust | Facebook
