Rare fernbird spotted at Taupo Swamp after restoration

An elusive songbird has been photographed at the Taupo Swamp near Plimmerton, north of Wellington, for the first time. The fernbird or matata was first spotted in the wetland last year, but hasn't been caught on camera until now. Chair of the Friends of Taupo Swamp & Catchment, Judy McKoy spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
