Woke up here again today, a deep tissue off-grid massage. Heard a brown Kiwi (endangered incredible flightless bird species) call out in the night. A big sound, reverberating in the mountain valley. Morning, I met a Ruru (named 'Morepork' by European settlers) shortly after dawn. We chatted for a good 5 mins.

Big bushpigs (invasive, often dangerous introduced species) were munching on rainforest roots near the tent, fighting each other nearby. Had to scare them off to get some sleep. #aotearoa
