200 #kakapo! The population has reached 200 today, with the latest chick (Esperance-3-B-19) becoming a juvenile - when we add birds to the official tally. There are probably more kākāpō alive now than at any time for ≥70 years. #kakapo2019 #conservation pic:

Just watched the wonderful series on New Zealand (narrated by Sam Neill I think). Kakapos centre stage. Fantastic to live in a world which has kakapos in it.

Five feathered fern shrubs - with great big beaks! Such hungry baby birby there!
