Puweto, or the small dark coloured rails, live in freshwater wetlands scattered throughout the country, with their largest populations in the North Island.
The Matuku Link is a 37 hectare native forest block in west Auckland's Bethell's Valley.
The reserve connects many protected areas including Ark in the Park, Habitat Te Henga, Forrest Ridge and Matuku Reserve.
Staff from the zoo and Matuku Link joined volunteers to search for the birds in Bethells wetlands.
The presence of small dark coloured rails in a particular wetland signals the overall health of the ecosystem.
But more than 90 per cent of New Zealand's wetland areas have been drained and cleared for agriculture which has yielded a major impact on all species.
Puweto need vegetation such as raupo and kuta in which to forage and nest.
Surveyors used a recorded sound of the birds' calls to aid monitoring.
They saw two puweto and netted 13 call responses at 38 listening posts.

The lanes will be closed for resurfacing and other maintenance from Boxing Day for up to ten days. This closure will affect the Shelley Beach off-ramp with access controlled by a stop/go managment system.
Motorists are encouraged to use the Western Ring route if there are delays on the bridge. Three lanes will be open to traffic in both directions says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Auckland System Manager, Andrea Williamson.
“The resurfacing process on the bridge requires 3-5 days to “cure” before allowing traffic on it, so while it may look as if nothing is happening the team will be using the lanes closure for other maintenance tasks, including water blasting and painting just below the road deck.”
Motorists are advised to check Waka Kotahi's social media sites for any updates on the lane closures during the 10 day period.

Maybe this is the wrong time to offer a few free plants, but these hellebores desperately need a new home.
They maybe white, green or they maybe pink - it will be a surprise.

They maybe white, green or they maybe pink - it will be a surprise.
They have to be put into the garden straight away.
Bring your own bucket to put them into.
There is only a very small amount, so it is basically first in, first served.
Only reply if you are going to pick them up tonight or tomorrow (Christmas Eve).
