The chorus of morning birdsong is found along the Eastern Walkway in the suburb of Breaker Bay on the Miramar Peninsula in Wellington Habour. Within this thin strip of land along the southeast coast of Miramar Peninsula the native tūī and pīwakawaka sing, with Barretts Reef, the Pencarrow lighthouses and the Rimutaka Range sitting in the background on a unusually calm day.
