Description
Cornwall Park and the the volcanic peak Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill park lie just 5 km South of Auckland's CBD in the suburb of Epsom and as such offer a nice place for birding within the city. While there are lawns, public BBQ, and a café for a relaxed day in the park, most of the area is divided into paddocks on which sheep and cows roam and is interspersed with groves. You can follow the paved tracks but also go cross-country and get a close look at Common Pheasant, California Quail, and even Helmeted Guineafowl in the paddocks. While Welcome Swallow over the fields and trees, you can encounter Tui, Silvereye, New Zealand Fantail, Eastern Rosella and many more. From Maungakikie you can see both the Hauraki Gulf (Pacific Ocean) and the Manukau Harbour (Tasman Sea).
