@aligorith I hear miromiro more often than I see them. They will sometimes approach to a high pitched "pishing" noise.
They're more common further west in the Port Hills, like in Ohinetahi Bush and Omahu Bush. For example, there's a steep zig-zag track down Watlings track from Summit Road into Ohinetahi Bush where I usually find several miromiro.
Plus, the adults have bright orange feet!
