I ca not take responsility for the mounting of this tree fish, but it must have been relatively recent as it had its own unique aroma...

NOT MY IMAGES - Taken by Geoff de Lisle and Dallas Bishop and used with their permission.
During my botanical survey on Kapiti I noted karearea along the northern coast and at Rangatira - six pairs.
During my stay at Rangatira I witnessed them drive off kahu (Circus approximans) and kill one kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae).

The Hoherius are still out and about in good numbers on the dying Hoheria. I didn't check thoroughly, but counted 8 males in just a minute or two. (Females and small males without the huge, white head are much harder to spot until they move.)
Note the truncated right antenna on the male; I'm guessing he probably lost it in a fight with another male.

One sitting alone by the edge of the lagoon. Large (70+?) population in the surrounding area.
