The region north of the Wairions [guess] is volcanic, much 
in contour as the Stony Rises but not wooded. 
But there are the swamps and on these we 
got beautiful views of AVOCETS, feeding in 
pairs, walking into the wind along the shore, 
swinging their bills to and fro under the water. 
Another pair in the middle of the swamp were 
floating down wind feeding in exactly the 
same way as they went. Very many 
COMMON SANDPIPERS flew and fed by the 
shores. HERONS rose singly from the water's 
edge, only few SILVER GULLS were seen, and 
those singly throughout the district. Five or six 
WHISKERED TERNS were fluttering above one 
particular swamp. 
We walked out to the end of 
PEL I CAN Pelican Point. In the Lake were large 
numbers of MOUNTAIN DUCK which rose in 
flocks as I approached. The shore was 
alive with waders - RED-CAPPED DOTTEREL, 
Curlew-Sandpipers and RED-NECKED stint easily

by its smaller and broader form. SPUR-WINGED
