We were at Zealandia on November 6th 2018 on a bright sunny Tuesday. The surroundings were a luscious lime green with cocoa grounds. Our director Bob led us into a place called the bird bush. We saw Tui's, Kaka's, Toutouwai and even Hihi! But I saw something else. A stoat! It was eating a Hihi egg too! I whispered to Bob "Look, a stoat." Bob was surprised when he saw it. He called the staff while my friend May was taking and deleting photos and claimed she saw a Popokotea. The staff finally came but the stoat got away. We quietly ran after it. We finally caught up and I scooped up the stoat. I gave it to the staff and they said I could help spot predators at Zealandia. I said yes and came every day and saw lots of rats, possums and stoats.
