Conservation win: kiwi heard in Upper Hutt hills

From Midday Report, 12:46 pm today

A major conservation win is being celebrated in Upper Hutt where acoustic recorders set up in the hills have picked up the call of two kiwi. It's believed the birds have headed north from Wainuiomata where the population has been thriving thanks to almost 20 years of intense trapping. Susan Ellis from the Remutaka Conservation Trust spoke to Charlotte Cook.
