Description

Stumbled upon a kiwi release whilst out for a walk. In this case a juvenile (assumed male) named 'Mojo' who had been taken as an egg for the Rangataua Forest, and raised in captivity until of sufficient size to be released back into the wild. Thanks Department of Conservation for allowing us to participate in the release of
'Mojo' - a day my whanau will never forget.
