March is Whio Awareness Month.
These unique birds are some of the only ducks in the world to live in fast flowing streams. Their presence is a great indicator of healthy river ecosystems. But, with less than 3,000 left in New Zealand, we've got to do our best to keep them around!
Whio pair
Whio stay together as monogamous pairs and usually hold the same territory for life.
