Is this a photo of the footprint? If so, you could add it to the mission on signs of wildlife. Your notes could describe how you know that it is from a brown kiwi.
We are not able to see the actual organism in this picture and there is nothing in the text to explain what we are supposed to be looking at. Please read through our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq and complete all the required details correctly. As it is at the moment this spotting is of no use to us at all and would have to be removed.
Nice. Which species would this be - Apteryx mantelli ? I can't find any of them listed near Christchurch. Is there a zoo?
