Quite surprised to see a large White Heron on the edge of the Avon, just downstream from Wainoni Bridge. Julia and I were in central Christchurch yesterday (29 August) and were surprised to see a family of 5 Paradise ducklings on the Avon River – HANZAB indicates laying in early August with incubation at 30-35 days – the ducklings were probably 5 days old so presumably laid in late July. David 1 SC Grebe reported from the Avon River near Fitzgerald Ave on 15/10, not seen on 19 or 21/10, but if anyone does see it, please report to Andrew Crossland at CCC |
