The New Zealand Pipit is a native ground-dwelling bird found throughout New Zealand and its outlying islands. It is a common species in open country, often blending seamlessly with its environment.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Zealand. Found in open grasslands, tussock lands, sand dunes, agricultural areas, and coastal environments.
How to spot
Look for its streaky brown plumage and upright stance. It walks and runs on the ground, often bobbing its tail. Listen for its characteristic high-pitched 'pipit' call, especially when disturbed or in flight.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during the day, foraging on the ground.
