Cape Sanctuary

Wow!  Friday was a busy day.  We were so lucky with the weather on our syndicate trip to Cape Sanctuary out at Cape Kidnappers.  Tasmin and the team from the Cape did an amazing job of showing us around, explaining all the predators in the area (thanks for all the gruesome examples Travis!), showing us how to track and monitor kiwis, and introducing us to your Kaka family.  It was great to see the fence in person to understand how important it is and expensive!  
What was the most interesting fact you learned on the trip?
What will you remember most about the day?
What does it inspire you to want to do next?
