Bird watching


Room 2 at Oraka with Mr Smith from DOC. Mr Smith showed us some birds that are sometimes found at Oraka like the Kotuku.   We learnt about why birds can wade at the edge of the water and other birds swim in deeper water. We also learnt about Godwits and how they fly to Russia.T

Next we went to the Wetlands to watch birds. We were really quiet and saw a Pukeko. We heard a Bitten booming. We also saw how the Raupo was growing in water and we looked at the trees that we had planted. Mr Smith told us how the Wetlands was his favourite place and how once there would have been Giant Eagles and Moa living there.
