The news a couple of weeks back had stories of weka in downtown Christchurch. One was captured around the Dux de Lux and released up around Arthur's Pass.
Here's one I saw near Hagley park late Saturday afternoon. Apologies for poor picture quality, but three-year-old Canon pocket cameras have terrible low-light properties.
The video is a bit clearer. I hope that the Department of Conservation will leave it alone there. Even better, City Council could ask Roger Beattie to breed a few pairs for release in the park - it would be great for tourists and locals alike. I hope that DoC's sending one back to Arthur's Pass didn't interfere with a breeding pair.
[Updated to remove more precise location details...run, weka, run!]
