Re: New Zealand - South Island - information/advice sought

[Julie Clark <>]

Thanks very much to everyone who responded to my request. COG chatliners are always so quick to help! I really appreciate it.

I've been out all day and haven't had time to process the information yet.

I will respond to people individually when time allows .... family commitments are keeping me occupied!

Cheers

Julie

Hi All,

I will be going on a 'family trip' to New Zealand in March for approximately 2 weeks. While birding will have to be mostly 'incidental' I am hoping to slot in around 3 targeted birding spots.

I am think of flying in to Wellington so I can visit Zealandia, but after that we will be on the south island and probably the southern part ... Christchurch and south ...

I have been doing some research on eBird and various websites but would really love input/advice from any of you who have spent time over there. I was interested in Stewart Island so would particularly like information/comments either positive or negative regarding Stewart and Ulva islands.

Any other locations that could be slotted in to a family trip would be great, along with information about Zealandia (Wellington) or other  'must see/visit' bird  spots.

Thanks in advance  for the valuable help that I always receive from COG members.

Cheers

Julie
