Sight of the Huia, or Last days in Mount Bruce

No, I haven't been lucky enough to catch sight of the dark feathers of the Huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) : I've to say that this bird have been seen for the last time in 1907. Despite that I stay convinced that, even if the bird is classified in extinct species, some of them must still live in the bushy new-zealander bush. Next expedition : rediscovery of the Huia in New-Zealand. Last days in Mount Bruce, so... I'll miss this bush and its inquisitive birds, its giant and tiny ferns... I will especially deplore to miss spring, which is arriving for a week, and trees in bloom.
Anyway, I'll be back there...
