 @e5c2d016 If you're coming to Dunedin you have to visit Orokonui Ecosanctuary, it's like Zealandia, but I've found the birds are actually easier to take photos of. 🤣 

The Takahe pair at Orokonui are very friendly, and if you go there at the right time of day, sometimes they walk right up to you. One time hubby and I stood very still while the pair and their young chicks surrounded us.

The hill is steep getting there, but I've seen cyclists make the trip. 
 @e5c2d016 Another great thing to do would be to cycle the new harbour loop. Great views while biking, and a ferry ride across between Port Chalmers and Portobello with the bikes. And also lots of wildlife while biking including sea lions and lots of birds.
