Almost 10% of NZ's crested grebe population inhabits Te Waihora and its' tributaries ( Kaituna River and Hart's Creek). Crested grebes breed at the lake at the Hart's Creek Wildlife Reserve and also on the Kaituna River- one of the few locations where crested grebes breed on a river environment. The total NZ population of this majestic bird is estimated at 600.
