The Kotare, or Kingfisher, is a smaller bird with a strong beak and brilliant greenish-blue coloring. This protected native bird can be seen perching on driftwood and feeding on small crabs. The Kahu, or Australasian Harrier Hawk, is another protected native bird, regularly seen gliding over the retreat and hunting around the pastured hills.
