the day we went to mt bruce

The Day we went to Mt Bruce
Tweet. Tweet. Tweet. On the second day at camp I woke up really excited because we were going to Mt Bruce. I was really excited when we got to see Manukura the white kiwi, because I had researched heaps about it and i was wondering if my facts were right. The white kiwi was chasing the other kiwi. When the white kiwi chased the other kiwi it was funny seeing the other kiwi running away. At Mt Bruce we also saw the Kaka, I was also excited because I had researched about it as well. One of the rangers was feeding the kaka so they came out where we could see them. They looked so cool all flying in. The Kakas feathers were a mix of colours like red,orange and grey. After we saw all the birds we had lunch then we went to see the eels. The eels had very sharp teeth. After Mr Blakey fed the eels we said goodbye to the rangers and we ended our day. It was an awesome day.
