Kakaruai, and an empty kākāriki karaka nest

We (the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary kākāriki karaka crew) headed for the nest with the hungry nestlings (the one I wrote about two days ago 2025-01-21 below). We watched for a couple of hours.... nothing! The nest had fledged. Good news that the nestlings were now fledglings and flying free in the sanctuary, but we wished they'd perhaps stayed in their nest another day. Never mind. While waiting, a friendly kakaruai (south island robin) pair stopped by.
