Famous for fronting the $20 note, kārearea can clock 230km/h and can catch prey mid-flight. They have even adapted to hunt within the dense New Zealand forests. Is this aerial acrobat going to smash the competition this year?

Kia Ora, Aotearoa we are the Marlborough Girls’ College Enviro Team and we hope the kārearea New Zealand falcon will be crowned 2026’s Bird of the Year.
This manu is already a source of pride for our region and we aim to share our passion with the rest of the country.
