The family holding up construction of a Tūtira logging road has been caught on camera.
A Hawke's Bay Regional Council staff member was able to take photos of the kārearea, native falcons, at a safe distance from the nest.

The species famously appears on Aotearoa's $20 note.
The population of bush and eastern types of kārearea commonly found in the North Island are recognised as being at risk with a small but recovering population, while their southern form is considered threatened, facing extinction in the medium term.
