Fantail: North Island Fantail, Huia
Birds, forest: Fantail: North Island Fantail, Huia
This little fantail, Rhipidura fulginosa placabilis, or piwakawaka, was happily darting around in a clearing that the trail ran through, and was most interested in any insects that we stirred up. They also occur in parts of Australia and some of the Pacific Islands.
