The sky full of stars. Glowworms ("titiwai") decorate the roof of their home cave in Waitomo. The glowworms hunt smaller insects by constructing sticky silk threads and catching flying insects with them. We were lucky to have the opportunity to spend two hours in this magical cave under the glowworm lights.

Many endemic bird species of New Zealand have greatly suffered from habitat loss and pests such as rats, cats, stoats and possums, and have been extinct or nearly extinct from most of their original range. On pest free sanctuaries, typically offshore, these species can still breed in safety. We visited Tiritiri Matangi in north and Ulva Island in south and got to see many incredible species that are nowadays very rare on main islands of New Zealand.

1. Takahe
2. Stitchbird / "hihi" (uudenseelanninmesikko).
3-4. North island robin & South island robin / "toutouwai & kakaruwai" (uudenseelanninsieppo).
5-6. North island saddleback & South island saddleback / "tīeke" (tiiki).
7-8. Red-crowned parakeet & yellow-crowned parakeet / "kākāriki" (uudenseelanninviherkaija & kruunuviherkaija).
