Weka nest and eggs
This is the western weka sitting on a nest. A weka’s nest is a bowl made from the long leaves of sedges, rushes or cabbage trees, lined with finer material. The inset shows a clutch of eggs on Kapiti Island. The birds lay between one and six eggs at a time, and can raise up to four broods a year.
