Kia Ora friends of Young Birders NZ,

We hope you are enjoying the Summer! We have recently been funded by Birds New Zealand and started a new magazine format, as you can see in our first magazine of the year (Summer 2025). We hope you are all well.

Enjoy!

February Fledglings Magazine

The Summer 2025 Fledglings Magazine is out! In our first issue with a new format, find out about migratory shorebirds like Godwits, why Penguins are mysteriously showing up on beaches across all of New Zealand, how the Miranda Young Birders Camp was, and plenty of fun games and quizzes to test your birding skills!


The Godwit Story, one of the pages in the February Edition of Fledglings.
