Results of 5 min bird counts at four locations within the Rangitane Reserve. 2019 was our third count, undertaken yearly in September.
Key species are up over our baseline pre-trapping 2017 figures:
Fantail +150%
Tui + 40%
Warbler +17%
We have a network of 80 traps in the reserve and in 18 months have removed 444 pests. Huge thanks to Mike Cadogan and Chris Owen for looking after lines in there.
The Northland Regional Council put out this fantastic downloadable booklet on native trees and plants.
