Description:

Young fledgling on Beach Road, Akaroa. Offspring of an unbanded female (see http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/974976), father may be Tim. Chick appears to have fledged early, possibly blown out of nest in strong winds over the last few days. Unbanded female was feeding chick frequently, singing near the chick, and behaving very warily. Chick was mobile, but could only clamber and flutter, clearly could not fly.
