Hello everyone,
As you will see, I have simplified the format of the e-newsletter so there are no longer any images, making it faster to load and with fewer hiccups. The images are all still there – you just need to click on continue reading see the full story.
While there isn’t much activity on our rivers over winter, that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Birds are being seen, traps are being made (heaps of them! It’s amazing to see how many can fill a garage) and sadly, the heavy snow caused major problems – and not just for those of us who lost power and limbs off trees. Spare a thought for the kakī recovery team, as well as the birds, down in Twizel. It must have been gut wrenching when the team saw what the snow had done to their aviaries. The photo is heat-breaking. Fortunately, as you will read, all was not lost.
Don’t forget, please keep me updated with events for the calendar and articles, snippets of information, press releases, your latest journal publication/research etc for our news page, which is how this newsletter is generated. Meanwhile, stay warm.
– Sonny Whitelaw, BRaid Manager (manager@braid.org.nz)
