Fiordland Brown Kiwi

We saw this on the last day of the Dusky Track, in the Spey Valley, at about 8am. Kerryn practically tripped over it making it run into the bushes, but it came back out and wandered around until we continued several minutes later.

Hey thanks a lot, it was totally just being in the right place though, nothing to do with skills! I was so stoked that it actually came out - I thought I was just going to get a video of moving bushes!
