I set up my camp and had a good rest.Sunday I was very busy servicing audo moth recorders. I was very pleased to see a pair of Kakariki.Monday was foggy and I read a book.Yesterday was a trap check for the Pomona Island Trust.The kiwi are busy, I heard many calls with my own ears including a duet at close quarters, and there were lots of kiwi prints on the beaches until the tourist boats, with their massive wake and offensive loudspeaker, started on Monday afternoon.If only the lake was always this calm.
