Rock Wrens in the Mount Cook area
Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2019 6:21 am
Hi all
Currently birding the South Island with one of my prime targets being Rock Wren. So far I've been unlucky with the two classic locations: the area above the footbridge on the Otira Valley track failed to produce any a few days ago (possibly because of being overrun with hikers), while the Homer Tunnel sites were inaccessible due to avalanche warnings yesterday. However, I'll be in the Twizel/Mount Cook area in a few days' time, and I was hoping that someone on this forum might be able to provide me with potential locations for the species in that region. Can anyone help?
Thanks, David
