Kakī / black stilt made it to #3 in the 2018 #BirdoftheYear competition, a huge boost in publicity for one of the world’s rarest wading birds. We have a huge number of endangered species in Aotearoa, not just the high profile ones like kākāpō and takahē - and they all deserve attention and support so that we can help conserve them. #nzbirds #birdventurenz #aotearoa #your_best_birds #endangeredspwcies #extinctionisforever #teamkakī #birdstagram #birds_brilliance #birds_adored #thebrillianceofbirds #wildnz @nz_birds @forestandbird @nikonnz #newzealand #travelnz #conservation #conservationphotographer #conservationphotography #threatenedspecies #feathered_friends #wilderness #adventure #birds_of_instagram #river #wanderwonder #earlybird #nuts_about_birds #bird_lovers_daily https://www.instagram.com/p/B4krxiCpniz/?igshid=ijbxi0n6supy
