Nga Manu and Pukaka Mt Bruce Reserves


Another highlight from visiting Mt Bruce and Nga Manu was observing during the feeding times of the Kaka and Longfin eels. If you are ever visiting these Reserves try to be there to see this. We couldn't believe the number of Kaka that seemed to appear from nowhere once they knew their dinner was to be served!
The sheer size and number of eels is amazing during their feeding time.When they spawn these eels travel way up into the Pacific near Fiji to reproduce and the common old longfin NZ eel is actually an endangered species.
