Te Waihora, Lake Ellesmere annual bird survey

Postby GrahameNZ » Fri Jan 13, 2023 7:13 pm

Hi folks,
The all species count of birds on Te Waihora, Lake Ellesmere is on Sunday February 12 2023.
We could use a few more volunteers to help out.
Experience not needed.
If you can tell a Canada goose from a swan, perfect
You will be part of a team with experienced birders to help.
Your own bins or spotting scope will be useful.
If interested and for further details contact
