This morning is devoted to the endangered kokako, which have maintained a population in Hunua Ranges Regional Park, on the eastern edge of Auckland.
Kennedy discusses why they have managed to hold on in that location, when they have disappeared from most other forests in the North Island.
Kennedy says the story of kokako in Hunua is a story of the triumph of passionate bird-loving volunteers, who have successfully seen kokako numbers rise from a single breeding pair in 1994 to more than 200 pairs today.
