Over a dozen birds have been translocated onto Tiri – though only one has decided to hightail it back home – the miromiro or tomtit. After their translocation to the island in 2004, it appeared that they had disappeared. Soon afterwards, these midget birds were found to have winged it all the way to the Hunua ranges – 60 kilometres away. Things have changed now though, and there are regular sightings of a resident miromiro or two.
