Birdlife is a feature of the motor camp and the surrounding estuary. The native Tui and Bellbird (komako) sing a melodious chorus which is quite unique in itself! There are the native Tomtits (miromiro) the Grey Warblers (riroriro) And large numbers of native Wood Pigeons (kukupa) both in the camp and out on the reserve.
If you venture on to the beach you will most likely encounter the migratory Godwits (kuaka) which feed in flocks on the mudflats in summer, and also Oystercatchers (torea). Other birds that you are likely to come across are; The New Zealand Kingfisher (kotare) Sandpipers, Plovers, BlackSwan, Royal Spoonbill, White faced Heron, the list goes on.
