The kārearea or New Zealand Falcon (Falco novaeseelandiae) is one of only 38 falcon species found internationally and is endemic to Aotearoa. They are one of few natural predators of other native species including birds and lizards but also have been known to eat smaller mammals reaching speeds of up to 100kmh in pursuit of its prey. Their range extends throughout most of the main islands with three distinct forms recognised, the ‘bush’, ‘Eastern’ and ‘Southern’. The Bush and Southern variants are classi ed ‘At Risk’ due to population decline. Although it’s not understood entirely why the species is declining, introduced mammalian predators again seem to be the main culprits. Cats, mustelids, hedgehogs and rats are known to prey on fledglings and eggs from their nests.
