Big week this week!
Wind storm, new Friday morning class with Nelson Intermediate, kereru in the kowhai tree and a dead goat!
This morning saw the first in situ session of the new Roots of Life class from NIS. It was great to have a new, bigger group at the sanctuary and I got to see NIS's new mini van from Japan! That should make trips to the sanctuary much less hassle.
We had a general welcome talk about the entrance building and the fence. We took a very small and careful walk up to the first weir and some of the students near the front of the track helped tidy a section fo the track which is covered in so much leaf and branch debris!
As they were leaving late in the morning I noticed three kereru sitting in the kowhai tree! I haven't seen them at the sanctuary since April so I was pretty excited. I have never seen them sitting so close to the entrance building either - it was wonderful!
Later in the day a report came down of a dead goat on the track. Too late to move it. It will have to wait until next week as will the track clearing!
