On 9 April, 2009, on a wet stormy day in a clearing low down in Hinewai Reserve, tui were released back onto Banks Peninsula. It is hoped that these birds will found a breeding population on Banks Peninsula, the first since at least the 1980s. In the previous week, 30 tui had been caught on Maud Island in the Marlborough Sounds, a predator-free reserve managed by the Department of Conservation. The captured tui, a mixture of male and female adults and juveniles, were placed in cardboard cat boxes, two to a box, and flown by helicopter directly to Hinewai Reserve. If these 30 birds stick around, they will be joined by a further 50 birds from Maud Island next year. In this photo, a tui is released by Wayne Beggs, from the Department of Conservation, and John Tom, a retired vet from nearby Akaroa.

They are watched by assorted onlookers, including Radio New Zealand and TV3 reporters and Lincoln University biologist Laura Molles, who is coordinating the supplemental feeding and radio tracking of the released birds.
