Unless you go to really specific places there is no much going on in NZ for BIF, at least it was like that when I visited two years ago. A lot of deers, sheeps, lambs, cows, some pengiuns/whales in Kaikoura if that's the wildlife you are looking for.
Agree, that was also my impression from a trip over ten years ago. The most amazing opportunities for landscape photography, plants and maybe some types of insects, but not for general (native) wildlife and birds. Which makes sense, as NZ didn't have any mammals (except bats) until humans arrived in relatively recent times - which also started the decline of bird populations. I remember from talking to biologists than many of them were gravely concerned about the 'silent' forests. And BTW, at popular bird photography spots like the gannet colony at Muriwai Beach you can get great images with almost any lens (including standard and WA lenses ...) so no need to plan for special gear ;-)
