Muttonbirding season starts in the deep south

from Midday Report

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the muttonbirding season for traditional harvesters in the deep south. The Muttonbird, sooty shearwater, or Titi are a delicacy and only have a short two-month window where they can be caught and prepared to eat. Pride of Poutama Muttonbirds is the leading supplier of Muttonbirds in Aotearoa, and Stuart Manukau-Spurr spoke to Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira.
