“Nice weather for ducks… and the rest of us.”
We’re wondering what these four feathered friends had to say at Rotokare/Barrett Lagoon recently!
Thanks to Towards Predator-Free Taranaki volunteer Janet Hunt for the awesome photo. Left to right are:
👉 Kōtuku ngutupapa/Royal spoonbill - just passing through. They visit Taranaki semi regularly but there is no resident population.
🖤 Māpunga/Black s**g. Common in Taranaki and resident at Barrett Lagoon with several breeding pairs.
🦆 Mallard duck – bog standard duck. But we still love them!
😲 Kōtuku/White heron. An uncommon visitor. Main population is on the West Cost of the South Island.
Thanks for sharing Janet - and a shout out to the amazing trapping volunteers at Barrett Domain.
