Kotuku Bird Safari

Patrick Crowe, our Senior Biodiversity Ranger, will be hosting a guided "Kotuku Safari" along the Kotuku Walkway in Blenheim. The tour will highlight the incredible birdlife of the region and you will be learning skills to see more birds, identify them with confidence and understand their stories and lives. About 70 species of birds live in the Wairau Lagoon area, including royal spoonbills, banded dotterels, pied stilts and many more. This is a great chance for birders from beginners to enthusiasts and experts to be part of a fun and informative day out. Meet at the start of the Kotuku Walkway down Hardings Road for a 10am departure. Bring water and lunch, a waterproof/windproof jacket, sun protection, comfortable shoes and a bird identification book + binoculars if you have them. This is a free event.
