Bumper breeding season for NZ's rarest bird after disastrous season last year | RNZ News:

… five fledglings already striking out on their own and as many as eight more chicks to follow.

That might not sound like many but given that the total world population of tara iti, or fairy terns, is less than 40, that is a huge boost to the species' chances of survival.

Didn't feel right to use one of the photos, but go look — the pics are amazing! 🐦
