Spotted
The Campbell Teal is a critically endangered, flightless duck native to New Zealand's remote Campbell Island group. This tiny duck is a testament to conservation efforts, having been brought back from the brink of extinction.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to the Campbell Island group, New Zealand. Observation is extremely limited due to its protected status, remote habitat, and small population size.
How to spot
Within its specific habitat, look in dense tussock grass and coastal scrub areas. Patience is key due to their secretive nature; listen for soft calls in the early morning or late evening.
When to spot
Year-round within its range, but direct observation is typically restricted to authorized scientific expeditions. They are often most active during dawn, dusk, and night.
This species was once thought extinct but was dramatically rediscovered in 1975 on Dent Island, a tiny predator-free islet off Campbell Island, leading to an intensive recovery program.
