Thu 26th June Atlasing the Ruahines Chris Tuffley During the 2019-2024 NZ Bird Atlas, Chris gave himself the job of making sure there was good data coverage in the Ruahine Ranges. This turned out to be fantastic motivation for lots of great trips, and he walked many of the major track, ridge and river routes in the range with a camera and microphone, counting and photographing birds and recording their songs. Come along and see the sights and hear the sounds of the Ruahine, and find out just where in the range you might hear a robin or see a fernbird. |
