An easily overlooked bird, this Campbell Island pipit (Anthus novaeseelandiae aucklandicus) represents a hope for conservation, as its species naturally re-established following a monumental and successful rat eradication program in 2001. With few visitors, the birds are remarkably quiet and curious. Campbell Island, sub-Antarctic islands.
