Before the last seven black robins were transferred from Little Mangere Island to adjoining Mangere Island in 1976, bedi Island was replanted with help from Forest and Bird. The photo on the left shows the relatively barren island in 1980; by 1989 a healthy coastal forest was regenerating. In the background looms the tiny rock stack of Little Mangere Island — only home to the black robins for a century. Photos: Don Merton
