New Zealand bird guides

[Brent Stephenson <>]

Hi Meloni and BIRDING-AUSers

Heather & Robertson is the best Field Guide for NZ - it is the most 
up to date and the plates are excellent.  There was a recently 
updated edition - 2000 I think.
As for birding, the Oceanwings trip out of Kaikoura is not to be missed

A good place to stay in Kaikoura is the Dusky Lodge - check on the 
web for this I'm sure they have a page (Information Centre in 
Kaikoura does at least)
Cheers
Brent
