Say hello to my little friend

Meet my new friend, this friendly fella greeted us on Ulva island Bird Sanctuary not far from Stewart Island, This guy was well happy. But the bad news is this bird sanctuary has just been infested with rats and his number might be up. There is a big bone of contention with the locals who are split between spraying the whole island from the air with rat poison or trying to set thousands of traps, one thing they agree on is they need to decide by next week though as the rats are multiplying fast and will certainly wipe out the rare bird population within a couple of months
