1958 colour reel footage taken by Johnny Kendrick of a fairy tern nesting just south of Te Arai Point, aside nests of Caspian and White Fronted terns. The area currently in pine plantations was once a vast network of sand dunes, where pockets of terneries could flourish. The video reel was digitised by Bring it On Studios and then edited by Chris Wild in 2011. If you are having trouble viewing this, it may be your browser, click here for the MPEG version.
