Bellbirds/Korimako in Canterbury
Anthornis melanura
Landcare Research at Lincoln, in association with Christchurch City Council and Canterbury University, is conducting studies on the distribution and habitat needs of bellbirds (korimako) in and around Christchurch, and throughout Mid- to North Canterbury. We hope that this information will contribute to improvements in their habitat, range and survival.
