Media notes
A wary hybrid Black Stilt/White-headed Stilt in a marsh. Endemic to New Zealand, formerly widespread, but breeding now restricted to MacKenzie Basin, C South I while small numbers winter locally in North I. Pure birds are one of the rarest birds in the world, with wild birds numbering around 130+. I've also seen one pure adult in the distance. Elevation: 472 m. Date added to IBC: June 23, 2016.
