Tiritiri Matangi

Bloggers hello! Last week Tiritiri Matangi is where we went. Tiritiri is a sanctuary for endemic animals like, takahe and tuatara. We first went on a bus for 15-20 minutes and then on a ferry 
for 70 minutes. 

We saw a lot of birds like the NZ wood pigeon, it was really big and fat.  It took a long time 
for us to get to the top at the light house but we made it. It was tiring walking up. 

When we got up to the top we had lunch then a scavenger hunt was what we had. After the 
scavenger hunt we asked questions about the island and animals. 

We walked down to the hill to the beach and explored till the ferry arrived. When we got in 
the ferry I was sad because I really like that island. 

I learned that there is 1% of takahe left in New Zealand and that some of the  NZ wood pigeons 
are too fat to fly that is why they don't move so much. 

I hope one day you will see the wonders of Tiritiri Matangi.
