Cape Barren Geese at Washdyke/Waitarakaio Lagoon

Postby Paul Sagar » Wed Mar 26, 2025 12:42 pm

This morning Joy & I completed our monthly count of waterbirds at Washdyke/Waitarakaio Lagoon and among the sightings was a group of 3 Cape Barren Geese, the most recorded at this location. We've recorded single birds there since 2015, with 2 appearing since 2020 but have not recorded any since April 2023. Most of the sightings have been in late summer and autumn, with the birds likely occurring in the maze of waterways upstream of the lagoon at other times of the year.
