Amazing native birds and the lighthouse on Tiritiri Matangi Island, NZ and Blake learns to surf Ep 5

Blake and Toby go searching for native New Zealand birds on Tiritiri Matangi Island (Tiri) and find a fernbird, whitehead, hihi (stitchbird) and a kereru (wood pigeon). Tiritiri Island is located in the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland New Zealand and was once a farm. Over the past 30 years volunteers and Doc have planted thousands of trees, eradicated the pests and developed a nature reserve where approximately 100 different types of birds are thriving, including approximately 10 different types of NZ native birds. Blake and Toby also walk up to the lighthouse, it was once considered to be the brightest in the world. After visiting Tiritiri Matangi Island, Blake learns to surf on his new surfboard for his 7th birthday. He has a couple of big slams surfing the waves before catching a great wave at the end! We are two brothers, aged 4 and 7, who love going on sailing family adventures - exploring the outdoors and finding super cool wild animals, bugs and marine life. So along with our parents, we're sailing the world, exploring islands, and looking for interesting wildlife. We start our adventure sailing New Zealand but dream of sailing around the Mediterranean some day. We love our planet and want to look after our environment, so through our travels we hope other kids will feel inspired to care for our planet and wildlife too.
