Pakiri

who knows what's going on, but, you know, he's doing his bit.

Tara Iti currently breed at Waipu, Mangwhai, Pakiri Beach and Papakanui Spit on the south end of the Kaipara.

But Ayla's hopeful they'll spread out.

We're kind of thinking about a new patch maybe.

They might actually start to go new places so we're doing a bit of work in that space at the moment too.

Mangawhai is definitely the biggest and the busiest

site so it can have up to eight or nine breeding pairs whereas Waipu has sort of two to three so yeah Mangawhai is definitely the most important and produces the most chicks but these smaller sites like Waipu and Pakiri and Papakānaui they're all really important too because it kind of spreads out the risk a little bit in terms of not having all your eggs in one basket kind of thing

Which is the perfect analogy on a job
