It’s easy to take our red-billed gulls tarāpunga for granted or to see them as a nuisance. But we’d miss them if they weren’t around - and so would our coastal ecosystems. On Sept 9th, I came to end of the Otago Peninsula to visit the tarāpunga colony, and to meet my guest Hoani Langsbury. Through the lens of Mātauranga Māori or Māori Knowledge, Hoani explains why Cook’s Scurvy grass is rewilding here – thanks to the gull colony and the ticks that likely build up in the soil beneath the
