March 2010

Here’s the March update for monitored kiwi in the Whangarei Heads, as reported by Todd Hamilton:

– All monitored kiwi alive

– Xmas: was nesting near where logging of WDC pines took place in McLeod Bay, but stopped nesting and moved away from logging area. On a side note, the logging crew have been very good- I have monitored birds regularly and kept them updated but geeze logging makes a lot of noise.

– Violet: has moved away from logging area near the Club and settled onto Mt Aubry

– JR: has also moved away from an area of earthworks

– According to our “chick timers” there are no other nesters – all timers are indicating high activity (10 hours)- ie: they are moving, not nesting!

– Performed biometrics update for Dallas and Sleepy

– Performed a transmitter change for Sleepy (finally)
