Endangered brown teal being released at Port Charles at the northern tip of the Coromandel Peninsula last June. Forest and Bird members undertook pest control in preparation for the release of the birds which have their main population on Great Barrier Island to the north. Despite the loss of eight birds from various causes, the experiment is regarded as a success, and it is planned to release a further 50 brown teal later this year.
