Volunteers track down escaped takahe in north Auckland

Two takahe are back in custody at Tawharanui Open Sanctuary after they escaped and went on the run. Volunteers spent ten days scouring farms and properties in northern Auckland as they hunted for the mother and daughter. There are only about 500 takahe left in the world, so they are now undergoing vet checks after being caught. Auckland Council principal ranger Miranda Bennett spoke to John Campbell.
