The Kaipupu Point Mainland Island Society Committee were thrilled to welcome 24 South Island Robin to the Sanctuary on March the 1st this year. The release of these charming birds onto Kaipupu Point marks a significant juncture in our story.  The planning and execution of translocating wildlife is a collaborative effort between Kaipupu Point Committee members and the Department of Conservation.  We were pleased to have the knowledgeable Bill Cash leading the capture teams on Long Island.
 
Translocations are crucial in the management of New Zealand's threatened bird species and as part of restoration projects like Kaipupu Point.  The success of these transfers is down to a number of factors including pest management.  On Kaipupu Point Sounds Wildlife Sanctuary we have a dedicated pest management team who also happen to be volunteers.  These volunteers work hard to maintain, monitor and trap any invading species.
