but, this time it will be on the Founders’ Lawn at Pukeiti. This will take place before the next newsletter so we will e-mail or do a ring-around of local members to give further details closer to the date. Should you be interested in coming but are not contacted, please ring or email either Heather (06) 757 2460 / h.robson@xtra.co.nz or Diane (06) 752 2800 / jordy@primowireless.co.nz. Your Members’ Committee hope you all have a safe and very happy Christmas and holiday period.
DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING The fernbird is a ground-dwelling bird and a reluctant flier, much preferring to travel by foot. Any attempts to fly consist of short ungraceful flurries of movement and any flight over 100m is exceptional. They mainly inhabit dense thickets of scrub close to or within wetlands, feeding on insects, but are also found in forested areas. The birds nest in sedges or other vegetation close to the ground and build tightly woven nests with hoods to
River, Te Henui Stream, Waimoku Stream, and less frequently at Lakes Opunake and Rotomanu, were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker surveys). In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality showed some improvements in the latest survey period in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action” categories (26% of
falling within the “Alert” or “Action” categories was almost half that of the previous season. Of note, very few high counts were recorded during the 2010-2011 season. Fewer exceedances of MfE guidelines (‘Alert’ and ‘Action’) modes were coincidental with drier early season conditions and a reduction in dairy shed pond systems treated wastes discharge rates noted from field inspections during that time. One site (Waimoku Stream at Oakura beach) continued to record all of its single samples in
strips of land adjacent to waterways. They extend from the edge of the floodplain to the waterway itself. The width of a riparian margin depends on the channel’s shape, and how it relates to groundwater movement through underlying rock or alluvium. An important component of the riparian margin is its vegetation. The composition of this vegetation greatly influences the functions of the riparian margin. ISSUES Streambank erosion releases sediment and nutrients to waterways. Soil
