We often hear a regular male and female on our property (the bank next to the apartment) and one of guests had the fortune to follow them and take a photo. This website link will help you identify the sound of the male and female kiwi, along with other NZ birds: www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/bird-songs-and-calls/
