Pekapeka Wetlands / Havelock North Road Trip

admin wrote in Dabchick, Damselfly, Pekapeka Wetlands, Welcome Swallows with 0 comment .

On the way to Havelock North we made a stop at the Pekapeka Wetlands. The last couple of visits here have been disappointing but forever the optimist I keep going back. The paths through the wetlands have been expanded since my last visit and the vegetation has been trimmed back.  Both these things have made […]

Pekapeka Wetlands – Hastings

Zealandia

Yesterday saw us wandering around the lower regions of Zealandia. The weather had calmed, it was fine albeit a little cloudy in the morning, but perfect for a walk in the bush. There were lots of birds out this time and a huge number of chicks flying about. Identifying them all became a little difficult […]

Pekapeka Wetlands – Hastings

admin wrote in Australian coot, Birds, Black Swans, Dabchick, Goldfinch, Pekapeka Wetlands, Welcome Swallows with 0 comment .

Last time I was up Hastings way I passed what looked to be a new walkway of some sort that was in the process of being built. This time I was able to stop and visit. The Pekapeka Wetlands have been turned into a place to be with nature. You can walk across the board […]
