10:30 at night, photographed a saddleback clinging to the outside of the Zealandia pest fence. I had earlier heard a bird being disturbed (no doubt by me) from its roost in the trees beside the outer boundary fence track. Despite there being a full moon, this bird was very reluctant to take off, I gave it a wide berth and didn't see it when I came back that way later.
