Thirty
people had an interesting day exploring the new regional park at
Waipiro Bay and its environs on Sunday 24 August. One of the highlights of the
day was the Kingfishers which
were in big nunbers along the coast. There was lots of
evidence of their nesting attempts in clay banks along the shoreline
and beside the tracks.
