Scrambling vine widespread in eastern Golden Bay at low altitudes. Often forms dense mass c1m or more tall. Thrives in open, including on steep rocky slopes, but also occurs in shady forest margins. Note fleshy fruit (at fingertips in photo)

I am quite surprised that I can identify the kereru in this photo - I saw it land in a distant tree, so pointed the camera at the spot although I couldn't make it out at the time. The second photo is a 400% crop of the centre of the first (so a little pixelated), but the kereru is clearly there facing away from me.
