On Sunday, five North Island Robins were trans-located into the Waitakere’s “Ark in the Park”, and more are due to be released today.

Our catching team are down in Rangitoto station at the moment, so we'll keep you posted on their progress.

My sources have just told me that nine robins were transferred into the Ark yesterday, and more are due to be caught over the weekend. Our forest park in Puketi (in the far North) also had a transfer of robins over the weekend. So far, they have successfully transfered 22 birds, and are planning on getting the rest of the birds this weekend.

All 60 robins have been successfully moved into their new homes - thirty birds have been moved up to Puketi, and another 30 have been transferred into the Ark in the Park. Hurrah!
