An Otago University zoologist has contributed to a new report after spotting an extremely rare half female, half male bird. Hamish Spencer was on holiday in Colombia in May when a wild Green Honeycreeper was pointed out to him. It has distinct half green and half blue plumage, the second spotted of this kind in more than a hundred years. He spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
