A yearly reoccuring Northern Shoveler and a New Zealand Dabchick last seen in 2020 have been seen at the northern end of the Pegasus Wetlands over the past couple of weeks.

The Northern Shoveler was there today just before 3pm, about 500 to 700m up the track from the bridge between Pegasus Lake and Pegasus Wetland, in with about 30 Aus Shov

Yes, it's been at the same spot feeding with other shovelers for some time now, and there are quite a few Great Crested Grebes present at Lake Pegasus.

By “quite a few crested grebes” , how many do you mean?

[Oscar Thomas]

Alan said he had the two at the wetland and three more on Lake Pegasus.

Thanks Oscar - Waimakariri District Council, Chch City Council and Selwyn District Council did a lowland central Canterbury sub-regional census of grebes, scaup and coot last week so I’ll double check that those 5 crested grebes were picked up.
Thanks
