Observation details
A lone adult female grazing in a meadow. A male flew in, extended his neck towards her and chased her. She soon stopped running and flew around calling about 150 metres from him. He waited briefly and flew after her up the Waikawau valley. About ten minutes later she flew back and rested in the meadow. The male was no longer seen or heard.
