Hi Duan
Check out Birding NZ forum:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BIRDING-NZ/
 I am planning a trip there in September and have found stacks of  
members on that group more than willing to offer advice and help out.
Recommended Field guide is the Heather/Robertson field guide - make  
sure you get the reprinted 2005 edition. I noticed in the Australian  
Museum shop in Sydney the other week that they had a copy but it was  
the old edition!!
For Okarito Kiwi contact Ian Cooper - 
For Stewart Island Kiwi contact Phillip Smith - 
 I would love to hear how you got on when you return as i will be  
visiting only the South Island too.
Cheers

Dear all,
 I will be visiting South Island New Zealand for 2 weeks starting  
Saturday and am finalising some things. Any inputs would be  
appreciated:
 1) Recommendations for the best field guide and where to find birds  
guide
2) Bird calls
 3) New Zealand and South Island birding listservers to find out  
what is going on locally.
 Thanks in advance for your time in responding and I look forward to  
hearing from you.
Kind regards
Yours in birding
