Wood pigeon sightings

 


There has been repeated sightings of kereru / wood pigeon in Mangaiti Gully in July, August, and September this year. These sighting were all in the northern arm of the gully in the vicinity of the Coleraine / St James over bridge and Sexton Road. This is the first time we have had persistent sights over a period of some months. This is very encouraging for the future. Many of you that live on Mangaiti Gully will remember that this was how tui started to populate the gully system not all that many years ago.
