Location: Sabine-D'Urville Circuit Track 6
Detail: Robin. Many trampers see them while either walking along the track or having a chat beside huts.Seeming almost fearless, they come so close that you can almost touch them.The reason small birds in the NZ bush such as Fantail, Tomtit and others come close to you is that you disturb bugs around you while walking and the birds eat the bugs you disturebed.Even though knowing it, closeness to these birds is one of fun parts of tramping.
